Around 170 people work at Van Geloven Helmond, also known as Van Lieshout Snackwaren. In Helmond we are the Netherlands’ frikandel specialist: we make various types of frikandellen, as well as burgers and minced‑meat products for the professional market. Around 1,200,000 frikandellen come off our automated lines every day. In Helmond we make more than 50 different snacks. That’s more than the menu of an average chip shop. No two days are the same here.

Van Lieshout Snackwaren has been part of Van Geloven since 2002. The brand’s long history is still clearly visible. Even though the production processes are largely automated, we still place great value on craftsmanship. That craftsmanship has already brought us many hits, such as the famous BikFrik, made to an authentic butcher’s recipe.

Behind the factory there is a large car park; from there it’s about a five‑minute walk to the changing rooms. A bus runs from Helmond station to the factory and it stops practically on the doorstep.
