Hafnia (food company)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable canned food company and meat brand. The article was PRODed by me, but the PROD was removed without addressing the notability concerns and with a request to perhaps take to AfD for a wider discussion without specifying why. The article is currently based on one single source from Liverpool Echo.

The Danish company Hafina Konserves A/S (earlier name Hafnia Skinkekogeri A/S), one of many Danish canning factories in the 1960s,^[1] existed as a company until 1971 when it was bought by Jydske Andelsslagteriers Konservesfabrik^[2] (no article on Danish Wikipedia either), perhaps better known under the acronym JAKA for products like this. JAKA and a number of other food companies fused in 1990 to form Tulip Food Company [da],^[3] which is today owned by Danish Crown.

"Hafnia" and "Hafnia Ham" had existed on the British market since 1956.^[4] As a brand name, Hafnia continued to exist on the British market after the 1971 buyout, and sponsored the shirts for Everton F.C. between 1979 and 1985 supposedly. The U.K. subsidiary of Tulip, Hafnia Ham, continues to exist as a dormant company.

Hafnia products were also sold in North-America, at least as early as 1925.^[5]

Still, I'd be surprised if anybody can source this to [[WP:NCORP]] and [[WP:CORPDEPTH]]. I can't. Should the article be kept, it should be moved to Hafnia (company).

I'm fond of ATD-R-solutions, and if someone wants to translate da:Tulip Food Company and seriously flesh it out (pun intended) with a good § History section, there is the theoretical possibility of redirecting Hafnia (company) to Tulip Food Company. A redirect to Everton F.C. would be more straightforward, althoug I'm not sure how much value it has for the readers.
