Tasty Present

What Tasty Present does

Tasty Present (TastyPresent BV) is a Netherlands-headquartered chocolate personalization company founded in 1991 and owned by founder Harry Timmers. Operating from Sittard with 11-50 employees, the company produces and sells customized chocolate gifts — branded chocolate blocks (Chocolade Logoblokjes, BrandingBitez), spelled-message chocolates (ChocoTelegram, a registered brand), fully wrapper-customized chocolate bars (BarBitez), chocolate letters, figures, hearts, bonbons and seasonal assortments — printing customer logos, photos, or text onto the products at its Sittard production facility with Cocoa Horizons sustainable sourcing options.

The underlying technology is a self-service e-commerce platform with a live online design editor that lets users upload assets, see real-time previews (including a real-time 3D preview on BarBitez), and order from a single piece to thousands, alongside an enterprise sales motion that issues custom quotes for orders of 250+ units and routes payments through Mollie. The platform supports volume tiering with staffel discounts up to 18% and stacking discounts up to 6% (max 24% combined), and is paired with a dedicated reseller/webshop partner portal anchored by a Geruba Partners collaboration.

Tasty Present serves four segments: a primary Business-to-Business segment using branded chocolate for employee appreciation, client gifting, onboarding and events; reseller/webshop partners; healthcare (Zorg) institutions; and hospitality (Horeca) businesses. It markets directly via own-website e-commerce, blog content marketing, and organic social on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and serves an enterprise client roster of 100+ organizations across financial services, government, logistics, retail, consulting, energy, construction, staffing, and automotive across the Benelux and DACH geographies.
