Things can always be better. This is the conviction shared by the meat-processing companies in the Van Loon Group. We can always improve. For you, our customers, as well as for consumers and the environment in which we operate. Sustainability and chain management are therefore firmly anchored in our business operations.

The companies in the Van Loon Group guarantee high quality and safe meat products. Together with our customers, we translate constantly changing consumer demands into appealing meat product concepts (organic, convenience, BBQ, animal welfare). Close relationships with customers are essential here, as is our faith in the power of simplicity. We do not do things the hard way if we can do them easily. And we think in terms of solutions, not problems. That benefits you, our customers.

We are very aware of the fact that sustainable business is a continuous process. Corporate social responsibility is, therefore, structurally rooted in our business operations. To manage and monitor the progress we make in this area, we work with four pillars: Consumer & Health, Chain Management and Animal Welfare, Employee Health and Safety and Sustainable Production

Consumer and Health

An increasing number of people in the Netherlands and other countries are consciously choosing healthy lifestyles. More exercise, no smoking and healthy eating are all part of this. As a meat-processing company, we play an important role in guaranteeing food safety. Consumers and customers must have confidence in our products and processes. In addition, we are also constantly working on ways of making our products healthier. By introducing less allergen, fat, nitrite and sodium in products, for example, but also through reduced use of antibiotics by our cattle and pig farmers.

Chain Management and Animal Welfare

Success in sustainability and animal-friendly business practices can only be ensured if these are secured throughout the chain. Animals must be housed, treated, cared for, fed and transported with care. From birth to slaughter. The Netherlands is definitely a front-runner when it comes to animal welfare, but there is always room for improvement. Van Loon Group ensures the required processes are adequately executed by each link in the chain and monitors this. With a focus on sustainability and animal welfare. We aim to realise optimal transparency for our customers and consumers.

Employee Health & Safety

People are our most important asset. Van Loon Group will do whatever it takes to create a healthy, safe working environment. This means we are committed to ensuring work is safe and enjoyable whilst also stimulating a healthy lifestyle. In 2014 we founded the Van Loon Campus with these goals in mind. Education and training help employees carry out their jobs adequately and safely. In addition, the Van Loon Campus facilitates employees’ personal growth and development.

Sustainable production

From rooftop solar panels and stimulating 'sustainable behaviour' amongst employees to heat recovery and reducing wastewater contamination levels. Sustainable production offers companies a wide range of possible measures and that goes for the Van Loon Group, too. We are committed to reducing our footprint without compromising the continuity of our organization. The construction of our new, highly sustainable production site in Son this year is a prime example.

Blumar Seafoods is a world-class enterprise dedicated to fishing and aquaculture.

With over 60 years of experience in the industry, we have excelled in the development of quality products while maintaining harmony with the environment.

Roerink Food Family

Roerink Food Family is a family business consisting of five organisations. All with one and the same passion: making the most delicious dairy products. Each business has its own speciality, varying from authentic Boer'n Yoghurt® to unique dips with cream cheese and fresh herbs, from organic goat cheese to icecream desserts made from fresh milk. Each product with its own distinct positioning. All unique and, more importantly, delicious.

The History

The origins of Roerink Food Family lie in Twekkelo, a rural area near the town of Hengelo in the Eastern Netherlands. The story began in 1981 when Diane Roerink began selling artisan-made dairy products from the old clog-makers shed on her parent's property. Gerjhan Roerink made these products on the farm using exclusively fresh grass-fed milk from farmers in the direct vicinity.

New developments followed rapidly after 1981. In 1985 a second shop was opened and the first products found their way to a supermarket. Ten years later, the Twekkelo products could be found in just about every Dutch supermarket. Yet Twekkelo products are still being produced at the very same place where Diane Roerink once began.

In 2011, Twekkelo took over the recipe and trademark of HEKS'NKAAS® from a grocer in Losser. HEKS'NKAAS® internationally named Miss Magic® has since found its own modern production site on the Hinmanweg in Oldenzaal.

Since the takeover of Miss Magic®, an umbrella name has been created: Roerink Food Family. To date, this name covers Twekkelo, Zuivelhoeve shops and Miss Magic®.

In 2014, Roerink Food Family invested in the expansion of the organic goat farm, De Lingehof, which is a care farm with 1,500 goats. Fresh, spreadable organic goat cheese is made from the milk of these goats. From 2016, this cheese will be sold under the brand name of Happy Goat®.

In late 2014, Van der Poel Desserts became part of Roerink Food Family. Van der Poel Desserts is a unique business, a top quality ice cream producer. On 29 February 2016, after much deliberation between the Van der Poel family and Roerink Food Family, the business name was changed to ‘De Dessert Meesters' [The Dessert Masters]. This was to avoid confusion with the Van der Poel family's ice cream parlours.

Salumificio Sorrentino was founded in 1982 by an outstanding artisian, Marino Sorrentino, who was a master in the art of preparing cured meats. The art was then handed down from father to the son Giovanni. The combination of tradition and technology are the major skills of this company. The ancient knowledge of selecting only the best meats, following each step personally to the point of perfection (from the initial step to the final drying of the meats) and the computerized system that controls the drying of the meats and the respectful atmosphere, all add to the excellence of the final product. The quality of the raw materials is assured by rigid selection of the animals. Through the contrast of these two points tradition and technology the target of the Sorrentino Company can be explained: to produce high quality salami. Each day in the Sorrentino men and technology work together to give you the pleasure in tasting a good slice of salami.

Rice has a millennial tradition as part of mankind diet being healthy, light and OGM free

We retrieved primal sowing and harvesting methods, studied and developed the germination process and developed a balanced recipe for our products made of Whole Biologic Germinated Rice.

Vegan diet is no matter of choice for those who suffers of particular intolerances.

Our products are totally allergens free because no milk & no eggs are used in them!

All of our 100% vegan alternatives to cheese selection could fit into a celiac diet because rice is naturally gluten free.

The common matrix that characterizes all of our products of the Verys line is Bio SuRice®, Italian brown rice, sprouted with spring water and transformed into a delicious and balanced whole vegetable drink. The sprouting process increases the amount of fiber, vitamins and precious micronutrients contained in brown rice, thus making Bio SuRice® a unique vegetable drink of its kind.

The sprouting of of brown rice grains increases the value of the precious and balanced micronutrients of sprouted brown rice, present in much higher quantities than in refined rice.

Brown rice is easily digested and assimilated, and, in addition to being a “living” food that gives energy, has high refreshing properties and has always been recognized as a valuable aid in detoxification.

We believe in the importance of a sustainable approach to food especially in the food industry. A different perspective comes along with a change of our culinary practice. The stakes is the planet! Moving towards a more sustainable diet will bring beneficial feedback for mankind, animals and environment.
