It all started in 1962, when the yield of the potato crop was high and supply was bigger than demand. A group of farmers in the Netherlands decided together to process potatoes in order to increase the value of the potato. They founded AVIKO – short for Aardappel Verwerkende Industrie Keppel en Omstreken (Potato-processing Industry Keppel and Surroundings). It would be the start of an international success story. Today Aviko is the second largest potato-processing company in Europe and the fourth largest worldwide. The main office is still located in Steenderen, the Netherlands. Aviko delivers to 110 countries. Aviko makes easy to use, healthy and delicious potato products for every taste and every kitchen. And even more: As a reliable, innovative and market-oriented company Aviko knows all too well the challenges that foodservice professionals all over the world face every day. Guests expect to be pleasantly surprised and pampered with high-quality food, and it is up to gastronomes to consistently deliver a top culinary performance within their existing capacities. Less-skilled personnel and tighter budgets require more efficiency and more streamlined systems in the kitchen.
