This is SanoRice
Started as a small but ambitious family business, we have grown into an international market leader with offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Poland. Our products are sold in more than 40 countries.
We are one
We are more than a factory, more than an office. We are one company. What defines us are our shared goals and shared responsibilities. When we work together, we achieve more AND have more fun.
Sharing knowledge and communicating
By working together and sharing information, we strengthen each other and achieve better results. Everyone contributes, and together we make a difference.
Respect and trust
We trust each other. We listen, value each other’s opinions and create a safe environment where everyone can be themselves.
Working together, laughing together
We celebrate successes and have fun at work. That creates a positive atmosphere. Together, we make every day more fun and productive.
“We are often involved, and our input is requested to try things out. That gives a feeling of appreciation.”
What I really enjoy about my job are the fun projects I get to work on; for example, I helped start up the new hall here in Zottegem: line by line, I, along with the project team, built it completely from scratch: forming and training a whole new team, and I also went to the Netherlands several times to observe and learn for this.
“By listening to each other, we always find a way out.”
“For me, the atmosphere in the workplace is very important. And it’s just good here. Both at work and outside of it, we interact in a friendly manner. We respect each other, and there’s a certain level of involvement. Of course, we have our ‘bad days,’ but by facing the challenge together and listening to each other, we always get through it. My team is such that you feel like you’re at home here, which is truly nice to see.”
“I have proved this is possible and realistic”
“Hi, I am Kasia. I am the first woman to become an operator at SanoRice Poland. For me, as an operator of the flavor line, the ambition has been and still is to achieve excellence in machine operation and the production process. Thanks to the support and resources I have received from our organization, I believe that my skills are at a level where I have the desire to further develop myself on other production lines. And the company is giving me this opportunity by participating in a program called Multiskill. Many people thought that a position on the flavor line was not the right place for a woman, but I have proven that it is possible and realistic.”
“I have plenty of opportunities to further develop myself at SanoRice.”
Pieter-Paul can not only develop himself at SanoRice, but he also helps the company to move forward. His current position did not even exist 2.5 years ago. ‘It’s really exciting to start in such a new role.’
‘I have plenty of opportunities within SanoRice to further develop myself. Recently, I was allowed to attend a nice and interesting training for my profession. Furthermore, I have the freedom to also introduce others to the wonderful world of process technology at SanoRice: I attend internship fairs and sometimes give lectures to students.’
Working on sustainability
We are actively committed to sustainability. We do this with each other and with our customers and partners. With conscious choices and innovative solutions, we contribute to a better environment and a responsible future.
Organic, that makes sense
Did you know that 63% of our materials are organic? That’s how we contribute to biodiversity. That’s good for you and for nature!
Sustainable chocolate
Did you know that much of our chocolate is made from sustainable Rainforest alliance cocoa? Every year we buy nearly 6 million kilos!
Fair Supply Chain
Did you know that we help 600 farmers in Uganda and 1,000 farmers in Cambodia with sustainable cultivation? We also pay them a fair price that improves their income.
SanoRice Holding
After the establishment of SanoRice Netherlands in 1998, SanoRice Holding was formed in 2007. SanoRice Holding serves as the overarching organization that determines the strategic direction and coordination of our various locations worldwide. With a team of approximately 60 employees, the Holding ensures the synergy and growth of our companies, with a focus on innovation and quality.
SanoRice Netherlands
Founded in 1998 by Corpeq, SanoRice Netherlands has developed into a leading producer in the rice cake industry. In 2015, our factory in the Netherlands doubled its capacity, allowing us to deliver even more high-quality products. Our team consists of approximately 90 office employees and 240 production employees, who together ensure the quality and innovation that SanoRice is known for.
SanoRice Italy
The SanoRice factory in Italy, located in Borgo Vercelli among the rice fields, became operational in 2006. With a team of 100 production employees and 35 office employees, this location plays a crucial role in our production capacity and innovation. SanoRice Italy is known for its commitment to quality and efficiency, contributing to our global success.
SanoRice Belgium
In 2008, SanoRice Holding acquired Herto NV, establishing SanoRice Belgium. Located in Zottegem, this location has since further developed and doubled its capacity in 2019. With a team of 285 production employees and 50 office employees, and a strong focus on quality and efficiency, SanoRice Belgium contributes to our global success and continuous growth.
SanoRice Poland
In 2022, construction began on our new factory in Nowa Sol, Poland: SanoRice Poland. The factory became operational in the second quarter of 2023. Thanks to its convenient location, we can distribute our production more efficiently. With a team of 90 production employees and 40 office employees, there is still much potential for significant expansion in the coming years.
