Van Gilse sugar products

Van Gilse is a historic Dutch brand that has been a staple in kitchens for over a century, specializing in a wide variety of sugar products including granulated sugar, sugar cubes, and syrups. The brand is deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of the Netherlands, specifically within the sugar beet industry.

All Van Gilse products are produced using sugar beets grown by Dutch farmers. The manufacturing process is centralized in the Netherlands, primarily at the sugar factories in Dinteloord and Groningen. This local supply chain ensures high quality and a lower carbon footprint for the local market.

The brand is owned by Cosun Beet Company (formerly known as Suiker Unie), which is the sugar-producing division of Royal Cosun. Royal Cosun is a major international agricultural cooperative. This ownership structure means that the brand is effectively owned by the thousands of farmers who supply the beets, ensuring the business remains focused on sustainable, long-term agricultural success.
