History
from Oliehoorn

Oliehoorn_staff_Klaas
1982-1999

Klaas van Kalken

The founder of Oliehoorn. More than 40 years ago Klaas van Kalken laid the foundation for the traditional preparation of our sauces. Something we are very grateful to him for. What started with the sale of edible oils and fats under the name 'De Oliehoorn', has grown 40 years later into a successful family business.

Wim
1999-2019

Wim Dijk

With the arrival of Wim Dijk, Oliehoorn developed strongly in recent years. Through the hospitality industry, Oliehoorn has grown strongly. The sector in which the French fries sauce, curry, mayonnaise and ketchup are enormously popular has taken them to their hearts. Likewise, Wim has managed to maintain the northern sobriety within the company. Combined with the quality and taste, this has ensured that Oliehoorn has become 'world famous' among connoisseurs.

Arjan - Oliehoorn
2019 and beyond

Arjan Dijk

Arjan represents the 2nd generation of the family business. He introduces innovative visions, innovates and invests in the future-proofing of the company. In line with Oliehoorn's mission, he focuses on the question: how do we make it (responsibly) tastier? The ambition is to evoke unique (taste) experiences through special taste sensations. So doing more than preparing tasty food: Oliehoorn wants to create enjoyment moments that stay with you!
