Looye Kwekers
(In-pack)

"Our ambition is for people to enjoy exceptionally flavorful tomatoes. We have been doing this as a family business for 75 years and we are super proud of that!"
"Growing tasty tomatoes can be hard work. Especially for Mother Nature. At Looye Kweekers, we do our best to give her a helping hand. And we do so in our own unique way - with a gentle touch, a keen eye and always working as a team. Because together we get the very best out of each other, and that means we always get the best flavor out of our tomatoes. "

Looye Growers is a family business since 1946 with two growing locations in Naaldwijk and Burgerveen and its own packing hall in Naaldwijk. A total of 500 external employees work at Looye. The showpieces of our menu are of course the Looye Honey tomatoes and the Looye JOYN tomatoes.
