The VanDrie Group: family traditions

The Dutch-owned VanDrie Group is not only the world market leader in veal, but also a company built on the best family traditions. In the early 1960s, Jan Van Drie purchased his first newborn calf for fattening. Today, with more than 20 companies, the group is the largest integrated veal producer in the world. Backed up by Safety Guard, a unique integral chain management system, almost 1,4 million calves are processed each year, more than 95% of which are exported all over the world. The VanDrie Group provides ± 20% of all European veal.

Respect for man, animal and quality has been part and parcel of the VanDrie Group for generations. It is at the heart of our professional approach nd partnership, and the starting point for the final product: Controlled Quality Veal.
