Van Geloven Helmond — also known as Van Lieshout Snackwaren — employs around 170 people. In Helmond we are the Netherlands' frikandel specialist: we make several types of frikandellen, as well as burgers and minced-meat products for the professional market. Our automated lines produce around 1,200,000 frikandellen every day. In Helmond we make more than 50 different snacks. That's more than the selection at the average chip shop. No two days are the same.

Van Lieshout Snackwaren has been part of Van Geloven since 2002. The brand's long history is still clearly visible. Although the production processes are largely automated, we still place great value on craftsmanship. This craftsmanship has already produced many hit products for us, such as the famous BikFrik, made according to an authentic butcher's recipe.

There is a large car park behind the factory; from there it is a short five-minute walk to the changing rooms. A bus runs from Helmond station to the factory and stops practically at the door.
