VAN HEES GmbH

Since 1947, VAN HEES has been known for quality and tradition. Over the years, we haven’t only developed a range of products and established strong brands but also created several ads. Recently, we came across some vintage print ads from 1978/79, which reminded us that high-quality products stand the test of time. Today, brands like PRIMAL® and PÖK® continue to deliver success, showing just how enduring quality can be. Here’s the English translation of the advertising messages from that time. Of course, some of the humor still works best in the original language.😉   Picture 1 Man on the left: The sausage will now have to go to the cellar for three months! Man on the right: But we want to sell it! That's what PRIMAL® is for! Picture 2 Man: With PÖK® your sausage doesn’t have to be afraid of the light!

Pepper: the gold of the food industry! Since October 2023, pepper prices have surged by over 100%, reaching their highest level in seven years. This spike is driven by a supply shortage amid rising demand, as recently reported by Lebensmittel Praxis and Fachverband der Gewürzindustrie e.V..   At VAN HEES, we understand the challenges this poses for the food industry and have developed a new product that that offers a cost-effective, one-to-one replacement for pepper in existing recipes, as well as an excellent alternative for delicious new creations.   Want to learn more about the product? Then let us know in the comments or send us a message.

🧑🍳 Döner – Mehr als nur Fast Food Der Döner ist aus der deutschen Esskultur nicht mehr wegzudenken. Wusstet ihr, dass europaweit pro Tag durchschnittlich rund  400 Tonnen Döner Kebab produziert werden? Mit der Herstellung und dem Verkauf werden somit im Durchschnitt rund 12 Milliarden Euro Umsatz jährlich erzielt. In Deutschland gibt es mittlerweile über 18.000 Dönerläden – damit ist der Döner ein echtes Schwergewicht der Gastronomie – und das nicht nur für uns Konsumenten. Die Betriebe schaffen Jobs, stärken die lokale Wirtschaft und sind zu einem festen Bestandteil unserer multikulturellen Gesellschaft geworden. 🌯 Jetzt steht der Döner im Fokus der EU! Aktuell liegt ein Antrag bei der EU, den Döner als "garantiert traditionelle Spezialität" zu schützen. Was bedeutet das? Wenn der Antrag durchgeht, müssten in Zukunft alle Döner nach den traditionellen Vorgaben hergestellt werden. Das umfasst spezifische Vorgaben der Zusammensetzung, Gewürze, Form, sowie Gar- und Schneideverfahren, was vor allem Auswirkungen auf Geschmack und Wirtschaftlichkeit des Döners zur Folge hätte! Die Entscheidung liegt derzeit bei der EU und wird im nächsten Monat erwartet. 🤔 Ihr wollt mehr Informationen? Wir laden euch herzlich zu unserem Webcast ein, um dieses Thema tiefer zu beleuchten. Erfahrt mehr Details zu dem Antrag, den aktuellen Sachstand und dem weiteren Vorgehen. Als Gastredner konnten wir unseren langjährigen Fachanwalt Hr. Dr. Markus Kraus, Partner in der Kanzlei GvW Graf von Westphalen, gewinnen. 📅 Wann? Donnerstag, 26.09.2024 um 11.00 Uhr 🔗 Hier geht’s zur Anmeldung: https://lnkd.in/effMBuvJ Lasst uns gemeinsam diskutieren, wie wir mit der aktuellen Entwicklung umgehen wollen.
