It all started in 1962, when the yield of the potato crop was high and supply was bigger than demand. A group of farmers in t ... he Netherlands decided together to process potatoes in order to increase the value of the potato. They founded AVIKO – short for Aardappel Verwerkende Industrie Keppel en Omstreken (Potato-processing Industry Keppel and Surroundings). It would be the start of an international success story. Today Aviko is the second largest potato-processing company in Europe and the fourth largest worldwide. The main office is still located in Steenderen, the Netherlands.
