Verstegen Mix voor Gehakt met uitjes

Verstegen Spices & Sauces is a renowned Dutch family-owned business with a legacy dating back to 1886. Founded by Mr. Verstegen in Rotterdam, the company has grown from a local spice trade into an international market leader in herbs, spices, sauces, and marinades. The brand is particularly well-known in the Benelux region for its high-quality spice blends, such as the 'Mix voor Gehakt' (Minced Meat Mix) shown here, which has been a staple in Dutch kitchens for generations.

Throughout its history, Verstegen has remained closely tied to its roots. Since the mid-20th century, the Driessen family has been at the helm, with the fourth generation currently managing the enterprise. The company's headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities are located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, ensuring that production remains local.

In recent years, the company has focused heavily on sustainability and supply chain transparency, becoming a Certified B Corporation. As of 2026, the ultimate ownership remains with the Verstegen Spice Group, a private family entity owned by Michel Driessen. The group also includes Dutch Protein & Services (DP&S), which was recently reunited with the parent company to bolster its position in the global food industry.
