Hamlet NV Information

HAMLET NV A family-owned company with a passion for sweet treats since 1956 In 1956, the story of Hamlet started with Alfred Geltmeyer. Operating out of a small bakery in the centre of Vrasene (Belgium), he started a small-scaled sweets wholesale business. When his three children joined the company, they chose to expand it with a company’s own chocolate-producing facility. Nowadays all Hamlet employees share the same passion of offering you the most delicious chocolates and sweets. Day after day.
