Van Gilse Kristalsuiker

Van Gilse is a quintessential Dutch heritage brand, deeply rooted in the sugar beet industry of the Netherlands since 1882. The brand is synonymous with high-quality granulated sugar (Kristalsuiker) and a variety of traditional sugar products like syrups and powdered sugars. Most of its production is centered in the Netherlands, utilizing sugar beets grown by local farmers.

Historically, the brand was part of the CSM (Centrale Suiker Maatschappij) group. Today, it remains part of the Dutch cooperative Suiker Unie, which rebranded to Cosun Beet Company. This transition reflects the brand's integration into a larger agricultural cooperative that oversees the entire supply chain from beet cultivation to the final retail product found in kitchens across Europe. The brand emphasizes sustainability and local sourcing, maintaining its status as a market leader in the Dutch sugar retail sector.
