LIKE HOME-MADE

Equipped with an abundance of ideas and the spirit of innovation Werner Engel founded this company producing desserts for canteen kitchens in 1932. With the acquisition of a potato processing plant in 1959 the range of products was enlarged and we were able to very quickly branch out into foreign markets. In 2011 we were able to obtain more than 50% of foreign sales for the first time. Today, about 200 employees in the development and in the production department ensure that you can concentrate on what is of importance for you – to make your products best-sellers.

Our products not only distinguish themselves by the fact that they are made in Germany and that they are produced on technologically sophisticated equipment. We meet standards such as organic, halal and kosher. In addition we operate an integrated management system within our company that has the following certifications: IFS higher Level, BRC, Smeta (sustainability), ISO 22000 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management) as well as ISO 50001 (energy management). Nothing but the best for you: engel!

Embark with us on a culinary travel: be it middle-class food, fusion, vegan, vegetarian, dietary, gluten free, halal, kosher, organic or a traditional gourmet menu, we do not only provide the ideas but also the recipes for success. The very taste of engel! And we want to achieve even more: every year we present our latest developments and innovations at several trade fairs. For your success engel is always one step ahead!

Sometimes there is simply not much time left: the clever express chocolate cake by engel Meine-Heimatküche is ready within 4.5 minutes and is thus the perfect supplement for a spontaneous coffee get-together! From May 16–17, 2017 this delicious treat was presented as top innovation at the Idea Supermarket of the PLMA Fair in Amsterdam.

We are today already shaping the future of our children. Thus, a CO₂ – neutral production is of great importance for us. In respect thereof, we have erected a biomass heating plant together with the City of Goch and RWE already in 2012. The result her being: our power plant generates electricity for many of the households in the City of Goch as well as 100% of the amount of steam we need for our manufacturing process. Since 2016 we are also able to generate an additional amount of gas needed for our drying process from a treatment of our process water within our company. Consequently, we are able to produce environmentally friendly and CO₂ – neutral. Because, when considering the environment every step counts.

We constantly live in an exchange with our nature which provides us with the raw materials we need. It is thus our commitment to preserve nature for our children and as a consequence we are actively engaged in our region already today.

Be it by planting wildflower strips along the potato fields or by establishing biotopes on our company premises: the preservation of nature is the central concern of our actions. We support initiatives such as, for example, an action group consisting of members from forestry industry and of members from the Waldjugend regarding a «pollution police» for the reforestation project of the Pfalzdorfer Forest with 2,200 beech tree seedlings.
