BHJ

Co‑Managed Services Supporting Growth and Global Expansion at BHJ

BHJ is a global production company with more than 1,100 employees across 17 factories in 15 countries. Driven by ambitious growth and international expansion, BHJ operates in an increasingly complex and distributed IT environment.

To support this development, BHJ chose NetNordic as their strategic IT partner.

Global Growth Requires Standardisation and Strong IT Governance

BHJ’s international growth is largely driven by acquisitions, with each new company adding systems, technologies, and local IT practices to an already complex landscape. This has increased the need for strong governance, standardisation, and compliance across all locations.

At the same time, BHJ is transitioning from a fully on‑premise environment towards hybrid cloud setups — a shift that places higher demands on security, scalability, and specialist expertise.

“As we roll out our globalisation strategy, we have to onboard more people and more systems in every country we operate in — and in the companies we acquire. We need to ensure full compliance everywhere, and that our employees follow the rules.

BHJ is a global leader when it comes to processing animal by‑products, but we are not necessarily the strongest in IT governance. And as we move from a fully on‑premise environment to hybrid cloud setups, we need external expertise to support us.”
– Hardy Rusbjerg, IT Director, BHJ

A Co‑Managed Network & Security Model Built for Scale

Through NetNordic’s competence centre 2C Networks – part of NetNordic Group, BHJ has modernised, standardised, and consolidated its network and security infrastructure.

NetNordic upgraded BHJ’s network equipment — including firewalls, switches, and the full Fortinet stack — and consolidated everything into a robust Co‑Managed Network & Security setup.

This model creates a balanced collaboration between BHJ’s internal IT resources and NetNordic’s specialist expertise, ensuring global compliance, operational stability, and a scalable security foundation.

One Unified Nordic Partner Supporting BHJ’s Global Journey

NetNordic has supported BHJ throughout their internationalisation journey, delivering scalable IT solutions that evolve alongside the business.

With 2C Networks now fully integrated into the NetNordic Group, BHJ benefits from a unified Nordic partner across network, security, and cloud. The delivery model is built on close collaboration, proactive operations, and continuous optimisation — always aligned with BHJ’s business needs, culture, and operational realities.

A Future‑Ready IT Foundation Enabling Confident Global Growth

The collaboration has established a strong and future‑ready IT foundation for BHJ’s continued global expansion.

With NetNordic, BHJ benefits from:

• One Nordic partner for network, security, and cloud
• A co‑managed model combining in‑house knowledge with external expertise
• Higher levels of global standardisation and compliance
• Specialist competencies in Fortinet, network infrastructure, and IT security
• A scalable platform supporting acquisition‑driven growth

The result is a modern, secure, and standardised IT environment that enables BHJ to grow globally with confidence.
