The Belgian Company Vanparys celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2014. This jubilee year was celebrated with a visit to the company’s production center by H.R.H Queen Mathilde of Belgium and Rudi Vervoort, prime minister of the Brussels Metropolitan Government.
Originally renowned for its extensive range of colorful dragées, Vanparys offers today an even wider range of products, from chocolate coated fruit and dried fruit, to confectionary, cake and cupcake decorations. In 2014, the quality of the products was awarded with four ˝iTQi Superior Taste Awards˝[1].
The company’s yearly turnover is five million euro. Forty Vanparys employees produce a total of 140 million dragées and derivatives, piece by piece made with 100 % Belgian ingredients.
