Back II Basics was established in 2001 by Peder Barenholdt (left) and Jesper Kolind (right) in Vejle Denmark. Since then our shareholder, Confiserie Triki, joined the company in 2010 and in 2024 we got our CEO, Christian Meyn (middle), to support our continued growth.
We have been hounoured with “The Entrepreneur Prize” from the Trade Development Board in Vejle, Denmark and twice “The Gazelle Prize” from the leading Danish business newspaper – Børsen. But the biggest honour is when we are awarded new business from our clients. Please see References.
The sugar business of Confiserie Triki Le Moulin was founded in 1948 by
Mr. Ahmed Triki. Since then, the Triki family has diversified into other areas but the "heart" has always been - and still is - in the confectionery business. Confiserie Triki is today managed by the four Triki brothers (one of them is also part of the BIIB board). With location in Tunisia and a modern factory, cost efficiency is given - but Quality has always been top priority. Hence it was the first company in Tunisia to obtain a double certification ISO 9001 and HACCP. Today certifications include BRC (A+), IFS (higher level), BSCI (A level), Halal, RSPO and BIO (organic).
Annual production is approximately 6,000 tons and the site employs more than 700 employees.
The existing facility is from 1992 and the current size is more than 35,000 m2. In 2013 the factory was expanded with a 4,000 m2 sugar free area which is dedicated to Business-to-Business and BACK II BASICS.
