Operational Excellence

Hooghoudt has always cherished the wish to keep both feet on the ground, keep our eyes on our goal, and keep our promises. In order to excel in the various aspects relating to modern distilleries, we continually monitor supply chain management, with various focal points such as stock turnover rates, central warehousing, and efficient transport contracts for deliveries all over the world.

The distillery serves production lines in the built-in bottling plant. Our employees’ tremendous sense of involvement in ‘their’ Hooghoudt guarantees their very best efforts. Working overtime to make sure that we get a big order off to the customer on time, or because a customer is holding a special sales promotion to mark a special occasion, is not usually a problem. We are able to guarantee fast and flexible deliveries thanks to efficient coordination between our bottling plant, our warehouse and our transport logistics. And that’s yet another of Hooghoudt’s strong points: making sure that the end product duly reaches its destination.

The preparation of our various alcoholic beverages is an art that Hooghoudt’s master distillers have at their fingertips. Technical tours-de-force are indispensable to the process of extracting alcohol from fine grain and subsequently converting it into delicious beverages. In-depth knowledge of elementary physical and chemical principles likewise forms part of the essential stock-in-trade for distilling our characteristic Jonge Dubbele Graanjenever, Beerenburg, Vodka or Vieux from water and ethanol. Despite this, however, Hooghoudt’s master craftsmanship is not entirely due to these preconditions. The refinement of our products ultimately lies in our desire to excel and only to be satisfied with the very best. As far as Hooghoudt is concerned, the deciding factor is our precision in our craft and our dedication to our trade. And you can taste this in the end result!
