Ardo has been “preserving the precious gifts of nature” – the company motto – for more than 40 years.
Year after year, harvest after harvest, Ardo supplies its continuously growing markets around the world with high quality frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta & rice.
Ardo, a family owned company, began its activities in the world of vegetables in the 1950s, growing and trading vegetables at the family farm near the village of Ardooie in Belgium. The village gave the new company its name, and the farm provided the site for Ardo’s first vegetable freezing factory, built in 1977.
Over the following years, Ardo developed its production and sales of frozen vegetables throughout Europe; today Ardo has 14 production and packing units in 8 European countries. Each year the group grows, freezes and sells 600,000 tonnes of fruit, vegetables, pasta and rice to 54 countries, with a turnover of 600mio euro. From the far north to the deep south, the name of Ardo is synonymous with exceptional quality and service.
