Nonstopfresh since 1907

We are extremely proud of the story you have before you. It all began over 100 years ago in Breda. These days, Aartsen has become a truly international company with branches and partners in every corner of the globe. Aartsen is a real family business, with the fourth generation currently at its helm.

Our history

Benelux

Aartsen has 3 branches in the Benelux, 2 of which are in the Netherlands (Breda and Venlo) and 1 in Belgium (St. Katelijne-Waver).

Our approach

Breda

The head office is housed in a monumental farm with a modern sales pavilion. Aartsen Breda now also has a fully air-conditioned warehouse measuring over 15,000 m², together with banana-ripening facilities.

Venlo

The branch in Venlo is our main gateway to the eastern and southern regions of the Netherlands and the German Ruhrgebied. Aartsen Venlo now has a fully air-conditioned warehouse measuring 10.000 m², including a wholesale facility.

St. Katelijne-Waver

Our branch in St. Katelijne-Waver is very strategically located, next to Europe's largest auction house in the heart of Belgium and the Benelux. This gives Aartsen a wholesale facility and 5,000 m² of air-conditioned warehouse space to serve its clients in this region.

Asia

We serve the Asian continent from our branch in Hong Kong, which employs local people.
