Behind the brand is the Andringa family, which has been selling cheese since the 1960s.

Today the business is run by his sons Folmer and Bjorn Andringa. Other brands in this group include Bionova, Trafo and Yakso.

How did it all start?
The beginnings of a family business
The Andringa family started their business in the 1960s in Leeuwarden, selling cheese.
In 1983, however, Frans Andringa changed the direction of the company and switched to organic products, inspired by macrobiotic cuisine and organic farming.
He focused on research into organic production and launched a genuine organic cheese in Germany, where it quickly became a success.
He soon expanded the range to include other organic products such as jams, honey and peanut butter.
Pioneers in organic food
They pioneered the first processed organic products at German trade fairs and were a great success.
In 1985, they launched their Yakso brand, which offered organic products for the preparation of Asian and vegetarian dishes.
In 1989, growing demand necessitated a move to larger premises in Friesland, where they could expand production and output.
Development of the Bionova and Trafo brands
In the 1990s, they launched the Bionova and Biofan brands, focusing on organic foods for healthy eating.
At the same time, they discovered a way to produce organic chips, which became the basis of their Trafo brand.
In 2003, the fourth generation of the Andringa family takes over the company and continues to innovate and expand the product range with 300 products for more than 40 countries.
Since 2017, the company has been focusing on sustainability, expanding its production facilities and introducing solar panels.
The company focuses on production without chemical preservatives and uses innovative methods such as vacuum frying to preserve the natural flavours and nutritional values.
The company's main idea is to offer sustainable, affordable and quality organic food that respects nature, promotes consumer health and contributes to the restoration of biodiversity.
