Tomeco Services
from the growers, for the growers
Where Harvest and Expertise Come Together
The proud Tomeco growers—all of them Belgian family-owned businesses—each grow their tomatoes with the same passion for flavor and quality. After harvest, the tomatoes from our various greenhouses are brought together at Tomeco Services, our central sorting and packaging hub in Hoogstraten.
Here, we bring together not only our harvest, but also the knowledge, experience, and quality standards of all our growers. In this way, we—as individual family-owned businesses—come together to form a single, strong organization. Tomeco Services serves as the direct link to our commercial partner, Coöperatie Hoogstraten.
Knowledge Grows Alongside Us:
in Our Greenhouses
At our growing sites, we are constantly gathering knowledge about varieties, cultivation, and energy consumption. We simultaneously evaluate approximately 100 trial varieties, in collaboration with Wageningen University & Research and the Flemish Experimental Horticultural Centers. Our energy consumption is also continuously monitored and adjusted. Just like our tomatoes, this data and these insights come together at Tomeco Services, where we share them with the entire grower group.
✓ Dozens of test varieties being studied simultaneously
✓ Collaboration with WUR and the Flemish Experimental Farm Centers
✓ Continuous monitoring of crop growth and energy consumption

Here, they are carefully inspected and sorted according to strict quality standards based on factors such as color and size. This is how we turn different harvests into a single, uniform, and reliable Tomeco product line.
