The story of the company starts in 1982 when Anne-Marie Stevens and Christian Vanvaek founded The Spice Factory – in Braine-l’Alleud, near Brussels. What started as a local family business, turned into the biggest Belgian manufacturer of Herbs & Spices, exporting products all over the world.

In 2014, The Spice Factory was acquired by a management team with a vast experience in FMCG and food.  One year later, The Spice Factory becomes the owner of the Piet Huysentruyt brand, covering a wide range of  seasonings and adding bouillons to the standard assortment. In parallel, the The Spice Factory team succeeds year after year to enlarge the customer base of retailers, developing the herbs & spices category at high service levels. Over the past years, our foodservice channel has shown a steady growth, resulting in more and more professional chefs choosing the The Spice Factory quality.

Despite the growth, The Spice Factory has been able to keep the most important traits of a successful family business. We believe that loyalty, flexibility, cherishing genuine customer relationships and a true passion for herbs and spices make the difference for our customers. We are proud of our no-nonsense, creative approach which allows a fast implementation of customized product and category solutions.
