The opportunity to look back on the history of this company established in the region. “Coming from a family of potato traders, brothers Luc and Guy Van den Broeke launched their potato processing business in 1978 on the Leuze-en-Hainaut site. Initially, the factory processed frozen fries and flakes. Very quickly, they began to increase the site’s production capacity by investing in a specialty manufacturing line. In 1981, the Lutosa brand was launched. In 1988, the Van den Broeke brothers took over the Primeur company in Sint-Eloois-Vijve, which thus became Lutosa’s second site, and in 1998 they added a fresh fries manufacturing unit (Vanelo). In 2007, the Van den Broeke brothers took a well-deserved retirement and handed over the reins of the company to SA Pinguin Lutosa Foods, which itself sold its rights to the McCain group in 2013. Throughout all its years, the spirit family initiated and developed by the Van de Broeke brothers has continued to survive,” adds the Lutosa company.
