Kappers Foods

KappersFoods was founded in 1978 by Dutch entrepreneur Bernard Kappers, who recognized the opportunity to connect Dutch poultry producers with growing demand in the UK.

A period of growth

In the 1990s, KappersFoods expanded its reach to markets in Africa, East- and South-East Asia and the Americas. As the European domestic market developed so did we and our partners. Over time, KappersFoods became a specialist in fresh and frozen poultry, pork, beef to convenience products.

From challenge to opportunity

At KappersFoods, we have built a strong and reliant business by continously adapting to an evolving food market. Even during large-scale animal disease outbreaks, political changes, shifts in trade laws and currency fluctuations, we have consistently turned challenges into opportunities.

Key to success

A personal approach, short lines of communication, experience and a positive entrepreneurial mentality have been key to KappersFoods' growth over the years.

For almost half a century, we have steadily invested in our relationships, our expertise and our organisation. We are proud that many of our employees have been with us for many years and we have been able to celebrate milestones such as 12.5, 25, and even for 40 years of service. This not only strengthens the mutual bond and atmosphere, but also supports lasting cooperation with our partners. In 2017, KappersFoods proudly joined the Lamex Food Group.
