Hazeleger Kaas

Founded in 1922, Hazeleger Kaas is a dairy industry service provider based in Barneveld, Netherlands selling packaging.

Hazeleger Kaas is an independent co-packer that cuts and packages cheese for cheese producers, brands and small businesses in the Netherlands. Services include cutting cheese into wedges, slices, pieces, rectangles, half cheeses and industrial blocks, primary packaging using vacuum, modified atmosphere and semi-rigid film methods, outer packaging in crates and transport or display boxes, and optional distribution, storage and order picking. The company operates two production locations in Barneveld and states a 2022 output of about 25 million kg of cheese per year, handled by roughly 300 employees. It was founded in 1922 as a cheese and salt trading business and has been family-run, with ownership passing through the Hazeleger family and later to Wim van Rijn. The company does not carry its own cheese brand and focuses on packaging services.
