Our history

THE STORY

The Kerr France subsidiary was created following a promising opportunity for Xavier BEERNAERT at Fayrefield Foods in England.

Today, Kerr France, located in Halluin (North of France), is distinguished by over 30 years of expertise in dairy trading. Since its beginnings, the company has built a solid reputation as a trusted buyer and distributor, thanks to its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to meeting your every need. Whether you are looking for solutions on milks, cheeses or powders from sheeps, cows or goats, we have the skills and resources to deliver quality products. Specializing in niche markets, Kerr France stands out for its ability to find the right product, at the right time, at the right price.

Before Kerr France was founded, the BEERNAERT family was involved in the grain trade. In 2022, Kerr France's sister company, Grain Solutions, was officially created. It specializes in trading cereals, grains and organic fertilizers.

Subsequently, to meet the new needs of dairies and the food industry, we developed a Veggie Solutions Business Unit specializing in plant-based alternatives (emulsifiers, texturizers, stabilizers, but also plant-based raw material).
