In 1972, a baker in Amsterdam started producing corn products for American soldiers in Germany. After a tumultuous period, the company was taken over and given the name Corny Bakers.
Not long after this, Corny Bakers started collaborating with Old El Paso to share knowledge about Mexican and Latin-American products. Sprouting from this collaboration, the first European location of Old El Paso was opened in Weesp, Netherlands.
In September 1995, Mr. René Kamerbeek took over Corny Bakers. Rather quickly, the company experienced a steady growth period, in which the original 40-some products became a complete assortment of around 400 products. In the year 2000, Corny Bakers and Old El Paso went their separate ways. Shortly thereafter, Corny Bakers took over Sunshine Foods, which was located in Amersfoort, Netherlands. Due to this takeover, not only the needs of the catering industry could be accommodated, but also the needs of wholesale retailers – an addition that was more than welcome.
In 2005, Corny Bakers started the production of various products under their own label, among which tortilla crisps, taco shells, other corn products and ready-made products. In 2012, the well-running production company was sold and full focus was laid on the core business, namely the import, export, purchasing and sales of Mexican and Latin-American products.
In 2016, the time was ripe to facilitate the fusing of Corny Bakers (owned by Mr. René Kamerbeek) and L.K. Logistics, Warehousing and Trading (owner Mr. Lars Kamerbeek), which resulted in a new entity named Corny Bakers First Mexican- & Latin American Foods B.V., led by the two aforementioned directors. In Weesp, at the Bloemendalerweg 45, the office of L.K. Logistics became fully devoted to Corny Bakers First Mexican- & Latin American Foods B.V. During these developments, countries outside of Europe to export to and locations inside of Europe were exceptionally expanded.
In November 2022, Mr. Lars Kamerbeek took over the remaining assets of Corny Bakers First Mexican- & Latin American Foods B.V. After working for the company since the age of 16, the ins and outs of the company have been completely entrusted to his knowledge. With a current cast of 15 employees and being an ISO 22000-certified company, the growth and future plans for Corny Bakers First Mexican- & Latin American Foods B.V. are increasing by the day.
Corny Bakers, for all your Mexican and Latin-American products.
