TERBORG, NETHERLANDS — Kaak, the family-owned food processing systems company based in the Netherlands, has been on a wild ride this year. After celebrating its 175th anniversary and bundling all specializations within the group into one brand name this summer, Kaak took another step last week to position its brand as a unique supplier for bakeries around the world.
On Friday, a member of the provincial executive of Gelderland, Netherlands, visited the Kaak headquarters to bring good news: The company may now call itself “Royal Kaak.”
The “Royal” predicate was granted by King Willem Alexander, and it symbolizes respect, appreciation and confidence in the company. This predicate is only assigned to companies which have proved to have an important position in their area of expertise, are of national importance and have been existing for more than 100 years. The predicate is granted for a period of 25 years and can be prolonged in the future.
For Kaak, the predicate is the crown on its 175th anniversary, an achievement the company credits to the support it’s received from previous generations and all present employees. Kaak will now support its customers as Royal Kaak for many years to come.
