Banken Champignons started cultivating fresh mushrooms in 1956. The company later evolved into one of leading, international companies producing and trading fresh and speciality mushrooms and special mushroom products. In addition to its three own production sites, Banken Champignons Group has a group of affiliated satellite growers who produce exclusively for the company. This allows Banken Champignons to guarantee the best quality at all times. Quality, ambition, integrity, expertise, flexibility, outstanding service levels and maintaining an excellent relationship with its customers are core values at Banken Champignons. Every day, more than 100 tons of fresh mushrooms are prepared for delivery and transported using its own fleet of computer-controlled refrigerated vehicles to national and international retailers, foodservices, importers, exporters and wholesalers. The turnover in 2011 amounted to more than 100 million euros. The family-run company employs a workforce of more than 450.
