Wilhauk Beef Jerky

 

October 16, 2024

A statement from Trent Wilhauk, Owner, Wilhauk Beef Jerky LTD

Over the weekend a company that distributes Wilhauk branded products announced they were changing their name. While we had hoped that this family matter would remain private, or if discussed publicly would be done so in a forward looking and balanced manner, that’s not what happened. As a result of many comments, questions and requests from the Wilhauk family to respond, we have prepared the following statement. 

Our company entered into a distribution agreement with Wilhauk04 Inc. in 2016. Since then, they have made product using our processes at their facility, using our proprietary blend of spices and selling it under our brand name using our trademarks. In recent months, it became clear that the two entities had different visions, and the current arrangement was not working. After substantial discussion and asking ourselves a lot of tough questions, we came to the conclusion that something needed to change. We informed Wilhauk04 Inc. that all arrangements would be terminated after a reasonable period of time, but that we would be willing to negotiate a new agreement so that we could all move forward in a more functional way. Sadly, Wilhauk04 Inc. decided to take another path. We learned that the relationship had truly ended this past Saturday, when Wilhauk04 Inc. posted their intention to change their name on Facebook. Until that point, we believed there was potential for a path forward. 

The foundation of our connection with Wilhauk04 Inc. began with and has been built on our core belief in “taking care of family”. So, while we are disappointed this relationship has come to an end, we wish Trevor and his family all the best with their future endeavour. 

 

Below, we answer some of the questions that we have been getting about the future of our products and brand of Wilhauk Beef Jerky Ltd. 

 

  1. Wilhauk Beef Jerky Ltd. is the only owner of the proprietary spice blends and mixes that go into the Wilhauk branded products, which give it its unique and distinctive flavour. While Wilhauk04 Inc. had access to these proprietary spice blends and mixes to make Wilhauk branded products. once their current stock runs out, they will not have access to them going forward, as they will no longer be selling “Wilhauk” products. 

 

  1. Wilhauk Beef Jerky Ltd. is not rebranding. We appreciate all the support from our loyal customers, our family and our friends. The 4th generation of Wilhauk’s are ready to take over and lead this amazing business into the future. We are excited to see how this journey continues. 

 

 We will not be making any further public comments on this matter at this time.

Simply the Best!! We have known the Wilhauk family for over 30 years. Our family has travelled from coast to coast, as well as many places abroad, tasting all different kinds of beef jerky. And I have to say... with a resounding YES... that theirs is the BEST beef jerky this side of the continent. Would travel far and wide to have it always on hand.


Leduc meat packers bar none has the best jerky ever. It is tender and has just a great taste. I have since 2002 introduced relatives, friends and all of my teammates to the great tasting jerky. The familiar response, "best ever and where do I get more?" Teammates of mine from the Montreal Alouettes to the Edmonton Eskimos still ask me about the jerky. This year the whole coaching staff from the Toronto Argonauts couldn't wait for our trip to Edmonton so I could go get some jerky for them. Only place I'll ever go to get jerky.

I'm a big fan of Wilhauk Beef Jerky. I have shared it with several of my friends and they all loved it. The staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend everyone try out Wilhauk Beef Jerky at least once!
