About Schouten Europe
What started as a family business has, in 2020, grown into a globally active business at the forefront of the development, production and packaging of plant-based products.
Pioneers and innovators since 1893
The Schouten family business has been characterised by a spirit of pioneering and innovation since its very inception. In 1893, Klaas Schouten started as a baker who, in addition to bread, also sold cattle feed. From 1930, the family business changed course and concentrated for years on the trade in raw materials and cattle feed.
This was followed by a turnaround in 1990, when grandson Henk Schouten started with the development of meat substitutes based on plant-based proteins. In doing so, he was streaks ahead of other companies. His rationale: it is much more efficient and sustainable if you convert raw vegetable material directly into food for people.
