A Belgian family-owned business with international ambitions
Born behind the counter of a chocolate shop, we are now a favourite of premium brands worldwide. Since 1982, we have been refining our craftsmanship in fruit jellies down to the finest details. With fruit as our foundation and innovation as our driving force, we develop confectionery that meets high quality standards. And the expectations of our partners, of course.
Let's collaborate
Our history in brief
Confidas was founded in 1982 by Paul Seiloglou. Drawing on his background in a family of chocolatiers, he made the conscious decision to specialise in confectionery, and that focus became the foundation of our expertise. As the demand for high-quality fruit jellies grew, we moved to a new production facility in Drongen in 1993. There, we invested in new machinery to take our pâtes de fruits to the next level. Since 2017, Luc Aelterman, together with his team, has been building on that rich tradition: in addition to confectionery, we now develop fruit-based sports nutrition and custom recipes, with quality as a constant ingredient.
From classical tradition
to modern innovation
What began as a craft within the confectionery industry is now growing alongside the ambitions of international chocolate brands, retailers, wholesalers, food brands and sports brands. Together, we’re discovering new uses for fruit, from energy-rich to functional foods. In doing so, we strive to strike the right balance between tradition and innovation, and between what fruit is today and what it can become tomorrow.
