In Germany, HAK is already well-known for its Red Cabbage, and Apple Sauce.
All personnel, as well as foodeko's non HAK-related activities will be taken over. The new joint venture will be known as HAK-Foodeko GmbH. The remaining shares will remain in the hands of General Manager, Jens Wohlrab. He was, after all, one of the company's founders. Both shareholders have ambitious plans. They want to expand activities, and double their turnover in the next five years.
Earlier this year, HAK also took over the Dutch vegetable specialist, Peter van Halder from Den Bosch. This company processes fresh vegetables into ready-made and other products. It then supplies these in bulk packs (500 gr – 5 kg) to professional kitchens at places such as care facilities and restaurant chains. This take-over gives HAK an opportunity to play an even larger role in the strong trend toward plant-based diets. They can also use their new refrigerated product concepts to realise their mission of helping consumers eat tastier, more convenient vegetables and legumes. These new concepts are based on beans, and vegetables.
