Our people
At Van Haelst Fruit, everything revolves around people. Under the leadership of Christophe Van Haelst and Cherlyn Maes, we operate with a close-knit team of permanent employees and seasonal workers, both in the orchards and in the packing facilities.


Our differentiation?
The passion with which each
employee gets to work.
Our Partners
Together with our suppliers, we strive for the highest standards. Thanks to our BRC-certification and annual audits, we guarantee the safety and quality of our products.
Through our affiliated company, VHM Fruit Trade, we handle the packaging and distribution of our pears, ensuring supermarkets across Europe receive fresh produce efficiently. By delivering directly to retailers, we minimize handling and transportation, guaranteeing freshness straight from the grower to the store. This approach ensures short supply chains, fast delivery, and premium-quality products.
Our Customers
Thanks to our direct approach and swift service, our customer base continues to grow. We ensure an efficient and short supply chain, bringing fruit directly from our orchards to the store.
From grower to consumer -even in China- without unnecessary intermediaries. This guarantees the freshest and most sustainably grown fruit. As one of Europe's leading pear producers, Belgium is internationally recognized for its high-quality, eco-friendly Conference pears and Van Haelst Fruit proudly represents this excellence.
