What TED’S does
TED'S (legal entity Teds Food Factory B.V.) is a family-owned Dutch B2B food production company with heritage dating to the 1980s, when founder Ted Duijndam began making artisanal hams in the basement of the family farm. The company today operates two production facilities — TED'S Food Factory in Zoetermeer, focused on artisanal meat products and rotisserie specialties (slow cooked spareribs, beech-wood smoked chicken fillet, meatballs, Irish roast beef), and TED'S Kitchen in Heerhugowaard, focused on fresh daily meals, richly topped pizzas, and a vegetarian line — plus a TED'S FoodLab for product innovation. Underlying technology is rooted in certified butchery and professional kitchen operations combined with automated production processes and continuous quality controls under QA Manager supervision.
The business model is pure B2B: TED'S supplies its portfolio of fresh, daily-prepared products directly to large Dutch retailers — including JUMBO as a named anchor — and to a long tail of smaller independent butcher shops, through its own "fast-operating" supply chain that delivers products fresh to partner shelves. The company develops custom recipes for retail partners and holds three independent certifications (BRCGS at Food Factory, FSSC 22000 at Kitchen, Beter Leven at both), which collectively function as both regulatory compliance and commercial trust infrastructure.
Revenue mechanics are relationship-based B2B product sales with no publicly disclosed pricing; the company remains privately held, family-controlled, and Netherlands-only in geographic scope. TED'S is currently in an active capacity-expansion phase, with a new factory and a new office building under construction in Zoetermeer, a new Expector planning system being implemented, and ongoing hiring signals — together indicating operational scaling ahead of further product and channel expansion.
