1980 - 1990
COROOS is increasingly conquering the European market with pulses such as white beans in tomato sauce in addition to fruit and vegetables. The well-known Zeeland brown beans and kapucijners also go far across the border with customers as far away as Suriname. Cor Oostrom's children gain prominent positions in the company and an acquisition is made: the former Veluco factory in Geldermalsen is bought. This expansion makes COROOS one of the two largest canning companies in the Netherlands.
Televisions are now indispensable in Dutch households and COROOS is the first to launch a product advertisement for its canned food from Zeeland.
