Machandel

Machandel is a family-owned company established in 1978 by Piet Glasbeek in Haulerwijk, Friesland, with over 30 years of expertise in producing organic and biodynamic jarred goods. The company collaborates closely with growers to create delicious, healthy, and honest products, emphasizing quality through impartial assessments such as Demeter and EKO quality marks. Machandel markets its branded products through health food stores, which have been instrumental in promoting the organic market, and also produces organic products for private labels of large retail companies under long-term supply agreements. Initially focused on biodynamic sauerkraut flavored with juniper, Machandel expanded its range to include various vegetables and innovative products such as creamy organic mayonnaise and peanut butter. The company emphasizes transparency regarding the origin of its ingredients and aims to address challenges in Dutch agriculture, such as soil depletion and biodiversity loss, while continuing to grow its customer base globally, from Australia to South Korea.
