BVBA Vanhulle Lijnzaad is active internationally as processor of linseed for human consumption and sowing linseed. Eduard Vanhulle, dealer in flax and linseed, started the business in Torhout in 1918 shortly after the Second World War.
In 1944 his son Gaston Vanhulle succeeded him and remained in charge of the business until 1993.
At present Raphaël Vanhulle is head of Vanhulle Linseed BVBA in Torhout.

Over the years there have been substantial improvements and increased automation in Torhout. For example a new building was constructed for processing sowing linseed. A pre-cleaning line was added and the storage warehouse was enlarged considerably.
|
With the advent of the fourth generation it was decided to build completely new factory premises. The new factory was sited close to the Doornik interchange.
In Doornik they just clean linseed for human consumption. Sowing linseed continues to be processed in Torhout.
At the new company we have combined all of the know-how from the last few decades into a totally new whole. Furthermore we are able to vouch for food safety thanks to our use of high-tech machines.

We are therefore able to say with confidence that this cleaning plant is one of the best performing in the world and ships only guaranteed high-quality products.
