HAMLET NV A family-owned company with a passion for sweet treats since 1956 In 1956, the story of Hamlet started with Alfred Geltmeyer. Operating out of a small bakery in the centre of Vrasene (Belgium), he started a small-scaled sweets wholesale business. When his three children joined the company, they chose to expand it with a company’s own chocolate-producing facility. Nowadays all Hamlet employees share the same passion of offering you the most delicious chocolates and sweets. Day after day. A magnificent Belgian chocolate tradition The quality and diversity of Belgian chocolate products is unrivalled. Hamlet continues to contribute to this Belgian chocolate tradition. We create and produce delicious and visually appealing products for you. You can choose pralines, truffles, chocolate chips, tablets, figurines and melting chocolate. Innovation with a finger on the pulse Hamlet closely follows global trends. Every day our innovation team works hard to develop new, innovative products and packaging.
