Well-organised processes for an optimal and worry-free service
As a category manager, ‘out of stock’ or ‘lost’ is the last thing you need! So, when you partner with Schouten, you will notice that everything is well organised. Because we have different production locations, delivery reliability is guaranteed. Of course, very rarely something can go wrong, but in that case, we have an excellent complaints system.
Your world is our world
At Schouten, our understanding of the retail chain is like no other. Wherever in the world you operate, Schouten takes care of everything and works alongside you. We guide you through international laws and regulations as well as local taste preferences, and thanks to production locations worldwide and retail-specialised logistics partners, we can always deliver just in time.
Plant-based products for food service professionals
Whether you run a restaurant or a food truck, customers are increasingly choosing vegetarian or vegan options. With Schouten’s plant-based products, you treat them to even more choices and tasty menu options. In order to provide you with the best possible service, you can order our products through our regional distributors, with whom we work closely.
