The story

Aviko was founded in Hoog-Keppel in 1962. In 1970 the headquarters were moved to Steenderen. Aviko has been wholly owned by the Royal Cosun Group since 2002. Royal Cosun, then known as Suiker Unie, had held a 30% stake in the capital since 1990. The Royal Cosun Group is a cooperative owned primarily by farmers. Aviko B.V. has 12 subsidiaries and had a turnover of £279 million in 1999. On December 1, 2010, Aviko took over the French fry potato business from Agrico.

In Germany, Aviko has a subsidiary in Rain (Aviko Deutschland GmbH), in nearby Oberdolling Aviko B.V. has a subsidiary. In 2014, the Amberger family took over a majority stake in the Dolli factory (brands Dolli, Feldmühle, Helmer; sales 35 million euros, 220 employees). At the beginning of 2017, Dolli-Werk was completely taken over by Aviko. Until operations ceased on December 31, 2018, the plant was managed by Bert-Jan Loman as general manager. In Poland, Aviko has a stake in a potato processing factory in Lębork and in the People's Republic of China, Aviko has a majority stake in China's largest potato processing factory in Minle County, Gansu Province.
