Your partner for fresh frozen vegetables, herbs and fruit

Nico Marreel, Data Management Team Coördinator at Ardo, talks about the advantages of a career in Master Data. 

At Ardo, sustainability has always been part of our DNA, and we see this reflected across all our processes and departments. As a team, we are committed to deliver high-quality products and services to our customers with respect for our food processing chain and environmental footprint.

Through ongoing assessment of our current state of processes, technologies, and bottle necks, we further improve our service levels and operational efficiency and aim to limit the carbon footprint of our activities. This is how Supply Chain contributes to Ardo’s sustainability achievements.

The International Frozen Food Conference, recently held in conjunction with the Anuga trade fair, brought to light the invaluable role of frozen foods in championing a sustainable and health-conscious future. Participating in the discussions was Ardo's Director of Sustainability, Emilie Haspeslagh, who gave insights in Ardo’s stance on sustainability.

After a difficult growing season and nervous markets in 2022, we were able to reach a new balance in the contracts with our farmers for the new season, which involves a raw material price increase of up to 40% for some crops. We managed to contract most of the necessary surfaces, and are facing a new season, again with some challenges linked to the weather…

What does sustainability mean to Ardo? We asked Emilie Haspeslagh, Sustainability Director and the third generation of the family to work in the family business, as well as Stephanie Cobbaert, Sustainability Coordinator.

In the culinary world, every bite should burst with flavor and every dish should leave a lasting impression. That’s where the fresh frozen mix of sliced strawberries and blueberries shines. This delightful duo not only offers a tantalizing taste but also a myriad of health benefits, making it an ideal ingredient for various delightful dishes.

Corn has always been a staple in many cuisines, but the method of quartering them lengthwise to produce "ribs" is gaining traction.

Recently, we had the privilege of hosting a vibrant gathering right next to the Ardo HQ. Together with a diverse group of stakeholders, from farmers and suppliers to leaders and innovators, we discussed pressing environmental concerns of our time: nitrate levels in water, the repercussions of soil erosion, the critical loss of biodiversity, and the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change.

The fresh green colour, crunchy texture and sweet taste make Edamame beans in pods an original and nutritious appetiser.

When it comes to energy and vitality, carbohydrates are our greatest supplier. Ardo offers a new, extensive range of grains and pseudograins. That means there are plenty of ways to add variety to a menu!

Did you know that Ardo is strongly committed to organic farming? Through close cooperation, we guide our farmers and their organic farming and support the follow-up of organic crops.
