Temmerman confiserie was founded in 1904 in Ghent by Bertha Moffaert and her husband. Specializing in the production of classic gingerbread, the couple decided to also produce candies. Together they opened the first candy store in the heart of Ghent on the corner of Lammerstraat on Genste Vooruit. The business flourished and under Francine and Jacques Temmerman Temmerman became a real established value in Ghent and the surrounding area. Fresh sweets were made daily in the workshop at the bottom of the store, including the well-known Ghent Cuberdon. At its peak it employed more than 16 staff. Due to the death of Jacques Temmerman, the business fell prematurely into the hands of the children. Who further expanded the business with several stores in France and Belgium, including a store in Aalst. In 2003 it was decided to sell the business, with the exception of the shop on the Kraanlei in Ghent, which has always remained in the hands of the family. The then manager, Francis Temmerman, son of Jacques Temmerman, wanted to give his children the freedom to develop their own career. However, blood creeps where it can’t go because a few years ago the youngest generation of Temmermans has taken over the Temmerman Confiserie brand again. As usual, another branch opened in the center of Aalst. This time in the historic building in the Molenstraat. The shop on the Kraanlei, which has always remained a family business, and the shop in Aalst are now joined by several new branches abroad. Temmerman confiserie has been specialized for years in confectionery, biscuits, tea and gift packages. Recently we also produce a small but refined range of pralines and other chocolate treats.   The business flourished and became a real established name in Ghent when Francine and Jacques Temmerman runed the business.
