Vandemoortele is a Belgian family business. We are passionate food people, and have been since 1899. Vandemoortele has two business lines; one in bakery products and the other in margarines, culinary oils and fats.

We are a B2B2C company. We watch and analyse consumer behaviour and trends, and we listen to our customers’ needs. Customer relations are our first priority, and we work as closely as possible with them to create new products or look for ways to improve production of existing ones.

The R&D team works closely with the sales team as the direct link to the customer. Every customer has different needs, so internal communication across the company is of crucial importance.

Food is about pleasure, warmth and sharing. Our team is not stuck in a lab playing with test tubes in solitude. You’ll find them with an ear to the ground, concentrating on the rituals of food, watching how we eat and share. They will be in the factory, at customer visits, supporting the sales team, collaborating with the category management team, meeting with marketing or on a ‘food safari’ in a foreign city taking in the tastes and styles.
