Founded in Sluiskil, the Netherlands, the company has established itself as a stable and leading entity in the European and global markets for flax seed for oil and fiber. The company's success is driven by its motto: "Customers who are successful with our products ensure the success of van de Bilt seeds and flax bv." The company's expertise in flax and flax production is extensive, allowing it to quickly adapt to changing circumstances. Van de Bilt zaden en vlas BV operates in the Southwest Delta area of Zeeland, known for its fertile polder soil. This strategic location is within reach of three major ports: Antwerp, Vlissingen, and Zeebrugge, which facilitates the company's logistics and distribution. Van de Bilt zaden en vlas BV is involved in several stages of the flax production supply chain. It contracts flax growers to produce fiber flax, manufacture linen, and produce seed. The flax straw is sourced from France and the Netherlands, and the company boasts its own processing lines for flax, including scutching and heckling lines. Innovation is at the core of the company's operations. Van de Bilt zaden en vlas BV is actively engaged in development projects that explore the sustainable use of fiber flax for non-textile applications, such as composite materials. The company also focuses on developing new varieties of fiber flax, oil flax, and winter wheat. The seed produced is multiplied by the company's growers in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, and then processed in the company's own cleaning facilities before being distributed worldwide as propagating material. The company's subsidiary, Textilin, located in Normandy, France, extends the scope of Van de Bilt's activities to include flax growing and seed multiplication in France. These activities are complemented by trading in seeds and flax fibers. Sustainability and environmental responsibility are paramount to Van de Bilt zaden en vlas BV.
