Innovation and Specialization in Tomato Cultivation

Den Berk Délice is a leading tomato company that has been managed since 2013 by four growers: Luc Beirinckx, Paul Van de Mierop, Hans Van Gool, and Koen Lauwerysen. They joined forces to combine their passion for growing high-quality tomatoes under one brand: Den Berk Délice. With a total area of 42.5 hectares, they specialize in both vine tomatoes (17.5 ha) and exclusive tomato varieties, also known as 'Specials' (25 ha). The Specials include popular varieties such as Bellino, Cherrystar, Miss Perfect, Kumato, Party Mix, and Ministar.

To meet the growing demand for their specialty tomatoes and ensure year-round production, Den Berk Délice implemented a modern lighting solution. On 6 hectares, they use a hybrid system that combines SON-T lamps with our CoolStack LED grow lights. This advanced combination enables them to create optimal growing conditions, even during the dark winter months. This ensures a consistent supply of their high-quality tomatoes while efficiently managing energy consumption.

Collaboration and innovation are at the heart of Den Berk Délice. By working closely with the Hoogstraten cooperative and utilizing the latest technologies in greenhouse farming, they continue to raise the bar in the tomato market. Their focus on sustainability, quality, and specialization has not only helped them strengthen their position in the market but also enabled them to provide their customers with the most flavorful and high-quality tomato varieties year-round.
