Global Food Group

What Global Food Group does

Global Food Group is a privately held, family-owned Dutch producer of liquid egg products and egg powder headquartered in Weert, Netherlands. Founded in 1959 by the Lemmers family as a small-scale laying poultry operation, the company has evolved into a vertically integrated ingredient supplier that controls the production chain from hatchery and feed through rearing farms, laying poultry, processing, transport, and an in-house accredited laboratory. Its product portfolio centers on liquid whole egg, egg white, and egg yolk — including specialty variants such as heat-stable, salted, sugared, pigmented, and high-whip formulations — alongside egg powder, frozen egg products, and a Collaborative Product Development programme for tailor-made mixtures.

The underlying technology relies on automated egg breaking, controlled pasteurization, and proprietary feed formulations (produced through its 50%-owned joint venture Global Feed Mill with Group AVEVE) that enable customer-specific yolk colour and full feed-to-product traceability. Two owned production facilities in the Netherlands (Weert and Ospel) process millions of eggs per week, supported by contracted laying and rearing companies, a private transport fleet, and an in-house accredited laboratory conducting daily quality analysis.

The company operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market model, reaching enterprise food manufacturers across Europe through a specialized direct sales team with local presence in multiple countries and active participation in trade shows such as Food Ingredients Europe. Customers are unnamed enterprise accounts in bakery, mayonnaise/sauce/dressing, pasta/noodles, dairy/ice cream, meat/fish processing, and liquor manufacturing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, reflecting the customized nature of the products. The company holds IFS, BRC, KAT, NCAE, Organic, and Kosher certifications, and remains 100% owned by the Lemmers family following the 2016 buyout of the Jacobs family's stake.
