Creativity is in our DNA
Tastemakers invents and develops themes for food products in gift packages. We distinguish ourselves with great creativity and a keen eye for trends. Discover below how we do that and who our 'Tastemakers' are.

Our quest for quality
Every year it is a great challenge to select the right products for our packages. These items must be of good quality, fit within the budget and match with the corresponding theme. Only then products earn the seal ‘Tastes good’.
You will find the Tastes good seal on each Tastemakers package. This seal indicates that in the search for this product we have looked for maximum quality and taste.
Proces
The journey of our products
1. Concept
A year and a half before Christmas, our Tastemakers brainstorm on the trends and developments that could form the basis for new gift package themes.
2. Design
Based on the ideas, a variety of designs are selected and developed into attractive, distinctive packaging.
3. Assortment
We carefully develop an assortment of high-quality products. These products are combined within appropriate themes.
4. Production
The products are produced and packed at various locations in the Netherlands and abroad. Most products are packed by employees of the local social workshop.
5. Logistics
Production is followed by transportation to wholesalers and gift package compilers. Our delivery is always on time, regardless of the stage of the season.
6. Wholesale
The packages are delivered to hospitality wholesalers, corporate gift wholesalers or other gift package compilers. These can be multinationals, but also local specialty shops.
7. Gift
Our customers buy the packages from wholesalers and then give them to their employees. This completes the journey from idea to gift.

Sustainable business
Responsible business
Tastemakers wants to contribute to a more sustainable industry. We do this by reducing the footprint of our packages and by reducing the environmental impact of our business processes. Valuing our relations should not come at the expense of our natural environment!
