Craftmanship in Amsterdam pickles
The partnership with Kesbeke fijne tafelzuren began some 25 years ago.
Almost simultaneously with the establishment of Squiby Foods.
The director of Kesbeke, Oos Kesbeke, claims that Andre Lesmeister walked into his office one day to discuss a cooperation.
We have been inseparable since that moment.
Kesbeke is a pickling company and a genuine Amsterdam family business.
Its product range includes pickles, onions, dressings and mixes.
The company began within the hospitality industry.
At a later date, retail was also added to its portfolio.
Kesbeke carries its own brand, but also creates private labels together with well-known chefs in the Netherlands, like Joris Bijdendijk, Ron Blaauw and Jonnie Boer.
Squiby Foods distributes a large share of the assortment of Kesbeke in the Middle East.
On specific requests from the market, the companies jointly seek a solution.
A number of products of Kesbeke can be supplied continuously.
In addition, there are products that are specially made for Squiby Foods.
Think for example of a special mix of pickles and capers.
Fundamentally, both family businesses are similar.
Both companies have the same mentality.
Not looking for problems, but thinking in solutions.
Besides that, Kesbeke and Squiby Foods strive for the best quality and high flexibility.
Not only in the range of products, but also in thinking along with the customer and the way of delivery.
The way of communicating and the flat organization makes that the combination of Kesbeke and Squiby Foods has been a success for many years.
Or as owner Oos Kesbeke has put it:
"I wish all customers were like Squiby Foods. This would give me a lot less to worry about."
We couldn't have put it better ourselves.
Do you have a product that the rest of the world needs to know about? And do you have the ambition to export your product to countries outside Europe?
