Vandemoortele Group takes over Gourmand Poland

The Vandemoortele Group, a Belgian food group specialising in soy products, frozen dough products and margarines and fats,has taken over Gourmand Poland, the Polish frozen bakery business of the Group Dossche.

Gourmand Poland, with a turnover of €3m in Poland and a number of other Central European countries, produces and sells frozen bakery products, of which frozen bread is the most significant in the range. In addition, the company produces frozen puff pastries, Viennese pastries and snacks.

"Thanks to its market knowledge, logistical network and typically Polish product portfolio, Gourmand Poland offers the Vandemoortele Group accelerated access to the Polish market. After the Czech Republic, where Vandemoortele is already a prominent player, Poland will be the second country in Central Europe where we want to strengthen our market position in frozen bakery products," says Eddy de Muelenaere, Managing Director of the Lipids & Dough Division of the Vandemoortele Group.
