Every day we are concerned with how to improve the quality of life. Cosy dinners and good conversation, that's what life is all about, isn't it? Real contact and connection make life richer. And that happens in the kitchen and at the table. This is our raison d'être. Why we do what we do.
Wegter (Est 1916) exists as a company for more than 100 years. So we can speak of some knowledge and experience! Frans Wegter started a store in "galleries" in Delden, Overijssel. We now speak of: kitchen, table, home. Ten years later Wegter also became an importer supplying other stores in Twente. In the 70's the catering wholesale followed as a customer group. Via Nico (Frans' son) and later Frans jr. and Marc (Nico's sons) the company grew into what it is today: a thriving company with a team of 45 employees, which not only distributes brands of suppliers but also successfully develops and markets its own brands. We have been based in Oldenzaal since 2007.
We deal within the "kitchen and table" product domain with everything that happens between producers and end users. These can be consumers, like you and me, but also professionals. We like to think along with our customers, sourcing products when desired or developing a whole new concept. We supply a wide range of tableware, cutlery, glassware, or even a complete package of household items.
We are a family-owned business with more than 100 years of history. Wanting to leave something good for those who come after us is ingrained in our DNA. It helps us make choices that are responsible not only now, but also toward the future. For us, that is the definition of sustainability: doing the right thing within the possibilities available and striving for a better world in everything we do. This is reflected in long-term relationships with customers, partners and employees, but also in a continuous focus on the permanence and continuity of our product range.
