1971 - 2021 | 50 years enterprising family business
In 1971, Jos van Loon, father of Erik and Roland, became an independent meat supplier serving local restaurants in and around Eindhoven. A smart decision, as the company grew steadily and its clientele grew along with them. In 1987, Erik joined the family business, followed by brother Roland in 1993. This provided a solid foundation for the current Van Loon Group family business.
Our companies
Van Loon Group’s headquarters is in Eindhoven/Son, The Netherlands, and consists of specialised companies, that have been making delicious and sustainable meat and convenience products for more than
50 years.
