Vandemoortele

Vandemoortele was founded in 1899 as a Belgian family business, and has continued to grow and develop ever since. Over the last two decades, we became a European food company with leading positions in two business lines: Bakery Products (BP) and Plant-Based Food Solutions. We are known for supplying innovative and high-quality products. In our two business lines we aim to meet and exceed customer expectations in terms of taste, quality, convenience and value for money. In 2023, Vandemoortele realised a turnover of around EUR 1.9 billion with 4,080 associates (permanent and temporary). The Vandemoortele Group headquarters are located in Ghent, Belgium. We have commercial offices in 12 European countries, as well as in the United States and Asia. We operate in 29 high-quality production sites all over Europe, in order to ensure proximity to all our key markets. We export from Europe to 72 countries worldwide. Big challenges the world faces, like the climate crisis, are becoming ever more critical. Vandemoortele wants to be a part of the solution. We believe that sustainability is an important driver for our business performance, and we see it as the only right way to create long-term value for all our stakeholders. Our Corporate Sustainability Strategy 2021-2025 provides a strong foundation for all our actions, and places sustainability at the heart of our business. We are dedicated to ensuring healthy, safe, and inclusive workplaces. We encourage the development and personal growth of our people, and appreciate the value of a diverse work force. All our associates are given equal opportunities to flourish in their jobs and achieve their goals. We also cooperate constructively with our suppliers, and reach out to local communities in order to generate a positive social impact. Vandemoortele lives by three corporate values: respect, ambition and cooperation. These both lie at the core of our corporate culture.
