The Belgian family-business group Vandemoortele, specialised in the production and trading of oil, mayonnaise and margarine, saw its profits grow by 30% in 2005. Following this exceptional year, the group, which currently employs a total of 3,215 people (1,574 in Belgium), will invest more than EUR 90 million this year and will hire 149 people (of which 42 will be in Belgium).
