About the Palm, De Hoorn and Rodenbach breweries / Royal Swinkels Family Brewers
Palm NV owns three Belgian craft breweries: the Palm and De Hoorn breweries in Steenhuffel and the Rodenbach Brewery in Roeselare. The Palm Brewery specialises in high and low fermenting beers. The Rodenbach Brewery is known around the world for its Flemish red-brown sour ale, a mixed fermentation beer that spends two years ageing in one of the brewery’s 294 oak barrels. In May 2016, “Palm NV” was acquired by “Swinkels Family Brewers”. Royal Swinkels Family Brewers Holding N.V. is the parent company of the Swinkels Family Brewers group. Swinkels Family Brewers is a 100% independent family-owned company. The Swinkels family has been managing a group of companies and several breweries for seven generations. They include the Bavaria brewery in Lieshout (the Netherlands), the de Molen brewery in Bodegraven (the Netherlands), the Palm and De Hoorn breweries in Steenhuffel (Belgium), the Rodenbach brewery in Roeselare (Belgium) and the Habesha brewery in Debre Birhan (Ethiopia). In addition to this, the family works closely with the de Koningshoeven brewery in Berkel-Enschot (the Netherlands). In 2018, these breweries jointly produced eight million hectolitres of beer and 856,000 hectolitres of soft drinks. With Holland Malt, the group also owns two malt plants, which together produced 336,000 tonnes of malt in 2018. Furthermore, CereX annually produces approximately 4,000 tonnes of malt extracts and compounds. In 2018, Swinkels Family Brewers acquired Bier&cO, one of the largest specialty beer importers in Europe, thereby further increasing the local relevance of its portfolio. Around the world, the 1,800-strong workforce of Swinkels Family Brewers works towards the shared goal of offering consumers the right beer for every occasion. On 27 March 2019, we were awarded the right to use the predicate ‘Royal’ in our name. Since then, we are proud to call our company Royal Swinkels Family Brewers.
