About us
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.

Each year, our Longest Picnic Table event officially kicks off the start of summer at our HQ in Ghent. ☀️ What’s our recipe? Every 15 minutes, we shuffle seats and have lunch while discovering stories and sharing laughs with different faces from various departments.🥤 Question jars are the secret spice, as they get us answering questions such as "What's the best place you've ever travelled?" and "Given the chance, who would be your dream dinner guest?". Colleagues truly love this #wellbeing event, organised by our FAME-team, as it lets us warm up on the rekindled #connection, adding zest to what would be just another Thursday. 🍋🟩 And as if on cue, the sun couldn’t resist joining in, bathing us in its radiant glow! #Vandemoortele #AddFlavour #LongestPicnicTable #FoodExperienceCenter #SocialContact

"77% of our indirect emissions are linked to agriculture. By focusing on regenerative agriculture, emissions can be reduced.” Every day, we’re committed to shaping a tasty future sustainably. 🌎 Watch this video and enjoy our delicious story! #Vandemoortele #ShapingATastyFuture #Interview #WeMakeProductsForYouToLove #ShareOurTasteForLife
