The Company

(Click on the pictures you want to see in their full size.)


Back in 1928, the Van Damme's run a business specialized in the wholesale of fruits (more specifically citrus) located at 'Place Sainte Catherine'.
At that time, most of the wholesalers in fruit and vegetables were gathered in this particular area.
Due to the company's expansion, they move, in close proximity to 'Place du Nouveau Marché aux grains' in 1932, and start with the banana business in 1935.

They quickly become a leader on the citrus market and are ranked as the 4th fruit importer of Belgium in 1937.

Unfortunately the war is breaking up and the supply of bananas is completely stopped.

They start again from scratch in November 1945.

They then decide to concentrate the business on bananas only and give up the citrus products.

 

The need for space is growing more and more and once again in 1974 they decide to move to a new Industrial area , Ternat. As usual, they are among the first ones to be on the right spot.In 1987 and in 2001, they extend the building to get more space.
