Family business

History
VDM Animal Feed Factory
Cavom

VDM Diervoederfabriek BV is a family-owned company (five generations) founded in 1898. The company originally sold a wide range of products needed for farming operations. After the Second World War, Klaas van der Meer took over the business. He managed the company until 1984, after which his son Jacob took over the leadership. In the mid-1960s, Klaas van der Meer relocated the company to Drachten. Because he consistently abbreviated the name van der Meer as VDM in his correspondence, this soon became the official company name. Since 1960, VDM has focused on its own production and the sale of its brand Cavom.
