Company history
Vaessen-Schoemaker was founded in 1946 by Hubert Vaessen and his son-in-law Paul Schoemaker. They were very innovative in their day, discovering, for instance, the effects of the binding properties of phosphates in meat, and this innovative spirit is still present in the company. 74 years of experience, knowledge and technological developments have resulted in many successful and proven concepts that meet current market trends and consumer demands. New developments in the chain, whether it is a new interesting ingredient, changes in legislation, or specific needs from the food service, we are able to translate every development into distinctive concepts that add value to your product.
Functional ingredients according to the building block principle
It can be a challenge to create unique concepts for the food market when short on time or missing the right expertise. Developments are fast and new products are introduced every day. Vaessen-Schoemaker offers its 74 years’ of experience to assist in co-creating differentiating food concepts and speeding up your development process.
Our concepts are based on a building block principle. A successful product has the right balance between:
- Texture
- Juiciness
- Taste
- Mouthfeel
- Binding
- Fat perception
We develop the total concept, but we will only supply the blocks where we add value. You can combine all our tools or pick and mix the blocks that you miss in your recipe. This allows you to quickly create high-quality concepts that fit your product profile and are new to the market.
