Innovative DNA

TNS Food, founded in 2000 by Daphne Aers, specialises in high-quality croquettes, oven snacks and meal components.

The company has 20 employees and two branches in Eeklo and Lokeren.

GoodLife Foods is now acquiring the company and founder Daphne Aers will join the group. An important step in terms of product offering and innovativeness, says CEO Dirk Van de Walle: “With the unique 100% full oven production technology and its innovative DNA, TNS Food will add great value to the GoodLife Foods Group. We look forward to the collaboration with Daphne Aers to further strengthen our portfolio”.

“I dreamed to make these innovative products available to many more customers and consumers”, says Aers. “This is only possible as part of a larger group. With GoodLife Foods I felt the appreciation for what I have developed and the will to unlock the potential together.”
