TRAFO

Behind the brand Trafo is the company FZ ORGANIC FOOD founded by the Andringa family, which has been selling cheese since the 1960s.

Frans Andringa, founder of FZ Organic Food, focused on organic products in 1983 and gradually expanded the range to include cheese, jams, chips and other organic foods. Today the business is run by his sons Folmer and Bjorn Andringa. It is a third generation family business with a long tradition.

The Trafo brand was founded in 2001 by Jan de Vries, who had a vision to bring high quality and healthy snacks to the market. The company has quickly established itself as a leader in innovative products focusing on natural ingredients and sustainability. Trafo boasts a strong team of experts who combine food industry knowledge with a passion for healthy eating.

Trafo is also committed to working with local farmers and suppliers, which supports not only the quality of raw materials but also the local economy. With an emphasis on ecological and ethical values, the brand strives to have a positive impact on society and the environment, making it unique in the snack market.

Innovations in the production of healthier and greener organic crisps

Trafo focuses on reducing the content of acrylamide, a potentially carcinogenic substance formed during the frying of potato products. By working with Agrico, they have developed a new potato variety with a lower content of free sugars, which helps to reduce this harmful substance. Innovation plays a key role in the Trafo potato chip production process.

The company uses modern technologies such as drying wall and vacuum baking, and implements an advanced pulsed electric field (PEF) production process. This technology not only reduces acrylamide levels, but also improves the quality, efficiency and sustainability of the company's operations. This project, which has been supported by co-funding from the European Union, represents another step towards healthier and greener snacks. In the production of our chips , Trafo works with fresh ingredients and works directly with local farmers who share the same passion for a beautiful natural product that stands for quality, sustainability and collaboration with nature.

The ingredients are grown without pesticides, are richer in nutrients, do not contain genetic manipulation, and organic produce is simply tastier. Our farmers are not exposed to pesticides, water extraction costs are down, which is better for people, animals and nature. Organic farming focuses on quality and healthy products!
