European bakery and plant-based food manufacturer with 31 production sites
Vandemoortele is a €2B Belgian food manufacturer operating bakery products and plant-based solutions across 31 European production sites plus one in the U.S., exporting to ~70 countries. The tech stack is traditional enterprise (SAP, Anaplan, Power BI) with active hiring concentrated in support and sales roles—a pattern consistent with scaling distribution and supply-chain execution. Current project focus spans pallet optimization, warehouse planning, and demand forecasting tool deployment, while pain points cluster around stock management, production downtime, and order-to-delivery reliability.
Vandemoortele manufactures and distributes bakery products, margarines, culinary oils, fats, and plant-based food solutions across Europe and North America. Founded in 1899 as a family business, the company now operates 31 high-quality production facilities across Europe and one in the U.S., with commercial offices in 12 European countries, 2 in the United States, and 1 in Asia. With ~4,000 employees, the company serves retail and foodservice customers across approximately 70 export markets. The organization prioritizes sustainability, workplace safety, and diversity as core operational drivers.
Vandemoortele achieved approximately EUR 2 billion in turnover in 2024, employing 4,094 associates across 32 production sites globally.
The core stack includes SAP, Anaplan (actively deploying for demand planning), Power BI for analytics, Excel, and Microsoft Office suite. The company is currently implementing Anaplan for demand planning and optimization.
