Snijpunt celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. On the 1st of June 1998, Marco Romein and Karel Vromans created the foundation for the company we are today, a specialist in producing fresh prepared cut vegetables. Being proud of this magnificent anniversary, the entire year 2023 is a celebration for us. In this year, we look back at what we have achieved together and, of course, also look ahead with our plans for the future.    

Past

Twenty-five years ago, it all started with a student and a grower looking beyond the established supply chain. Their goal was to realise added value for bell pepper. Their idea was to start delivering sliced peppers. This way, bell peppers not suited for retail can also be processed. At the same time we add value to the raw material as well. No sooner said than done. As a graduation project, Marco carried out a feasibility study with the aim of setting up a vegetable processing facility. And with success. Snijpunt was born.

Present

In the first period, Snijpunt only supplied halved bell pepper. Over the past 25 years, many varieties of prepared bell pepper and other products have been added. From one smoothly working production line, we have grown to 12 production lines. Where we started with 300 square metres of production space, we now operate on more than 4,000 square metres. And from a small team, we have grown to a team of 60 to 90 people, depending on the current demand. Still closely united and with an eye for the customer, product, and each other.    

We have grown from a specialist in halved peppers to a specialist in freshly prepared cut vegetables in recent years. In this process, we continuously explore efficiency, food safety and innovation. We are also always looking at additions to our range or collaborations that could benefit our customers. And we continue to look for companies that we can provide with knowledge, skills and suitable products.

Future

What future brings; one never knows for sure. But setting plans always helps. What our plans are, we will keep to ourselves for now. Over the year, we will take you all into our future. We will keep you posted.
