About us
Your partner for private label and food innovation
Jokilaakson Juusto is a Finnish, family-owned food manufacturer based in Jämsä, Central Finland.
We develop and manufacture products for private label, retail, foodservice and food industry customers in Finland and international markets. Alongside private label, we manufacture products under our own brands Jokilaakson Juusto, Ilo and Nacho & Taco.
Our strength is combining flexible product development with reliable manufacturing. We work closely with our customers to develop products, recipes, formats and packaging solutions that fit their market and category.
From the first idea to the finished product, we make things happen.
“We are continuously on the look-out for new trends, and developing and experimenting with them” –Managing Director Esa Luomanperä.
