Shareholder WelMac
Nov 2024
WelMac was founded in 2015 with the acquisition of "Welgevonden" macadamia farm, an 850 hectare farm located in the Limpopo province in the northern region of South Africa. Since then WelMac has established activities all through the value chain and established a reputation of being a valued employer, an outstanding farmer and running a high quality nursery. Over the past years WelMac has realised developments and achieved results on Welgevonden, that are redefining the industry in terms of yield, quality and quantity. Albasini Nursery was initially established to provide Welgevonden with young trees, but has since then developed into a self sustaining professional nursery. Albasini Nursery is fully owned by WelMac and is now providing macadamia farmers with high quality cultivars. On Welgevonden we have taken the first steps in processing of our harvest in our own facility. When production increases WelMac will eventually complete the whole cracking, sorting and packaging process as well as trading her own nuts and oils through her Dutch trading company, WelMac Nuts & Oils.

We applied proven design thinking techniques to solve all the user pain points of "that brush experience". Out of that exercise emerged The Otter - its the the brush without the bristles. The Otter is currently in production in South Africa and we are seeking global distribution partners.

Food2Smile candies are not like other candies! Food2Smile represents sweets without nasties, or in Dutch ‘meukvrij’. This means no added sugars or poor red E-numbers. Food2Smile products are for the most part gluten-free, lactose-free, gelatine-free, low in calories, contain only natural flavourings, colourings & fragrances and caries-safe. Delicious sweets and snacks that you have to enjoy! Founder Miriam Bouwens: “Of course you want to eat a sweet occasionally! But when you do, choose a healthier alternative instead. Especially in snacking there are a lot of health benefits to gain. “ The Healthy School Canteen The ‘Voedingscentrum’, The Netherlands Nutrition Centre, included the products of Food2Smile in the Inspiration List of the Healthy School Canteen. Particularly in places where many young people meet, Food2Smile will provide information and offer a healthy alternative. Therefore we focus on the school- and sports canteen. Children’s Nutrition Consultants Miriam Bouwens has years of experience as a nutritionist. With her self-developed intervention and prevention weight loss programs of Lifestyle Junior (lifestylejunior.nl) she is, together with a team of child nutritionists, informing children and their parents about healthy eating to prevent obesity. She is also the author of the (cook)books ‘Dat was lekker mam’ (That was good, mom) for parents, ‘Laat mij maar, pap! ( I can do it, dad) for children and ‘De Spinazie Academie’ (The Spinach Academy) for families cooking together.
