FOCUSING ON TRADITION This is our second magazine ‘The Taste of Degens’ and my first time writing the foreword in my capacity as director.

I don’t need to tell you that Degens has specialised in developing marinades, grill mixes, herbs, spices and sauces for the traditional fresh food specialist for 80 years. More importantly, on 1 January 2014 we became an independent company operating under Intertaste.

For you, this means the following: total focus on the traditional fresh food specialist from the entire Degens team. Why? Because it’s what we’re good Aart de Geus

at and Because we see it as our challenge to maintain and adapt tradition to

Director Degens

the requirements of the modern consumer. This focus ensures that we can optimally deliver within this segment and satisfy the wishes and demands of the fresh food specialist.

We are brimming with initiatives! Our enthusiasm is reflected in this second magazine. With three inspiring themes: ‘Familiar Faces, ‘Summer Fancies’ and ‘Quick and Easy’, we show that tradition can go hand in hand with innovation.

From a Belgian satay to a piña colada brochette: plenty of inspiration for the coming period, I feel!

On page 16, I would also like to introduce you to our team. You may know them or have spoken to them already, but consider it a renewed introduction.

We want to work alongside you for the future of this wonderful tradition.

See you next time!

Kind Regards,

Aart de Geus
