'Meat' the
Savos team
Savos was founded in 1996 by Tom De Vos and his father, Ignace De Vos. Initially, they operated as independent sales representatives, supplying poultry and pork to the meat processing industry.
At a later stage, a strategic decision was made to move beyond commission-based sales and to focus on direct import and export activities, primarily in poultry.
A few years ago, Ignace retired and Tom continued the business independently. Today, he runs Savos together with his partner, Sandra De Vusser, as a close and complementary team.
Tom De Vos
CEO
Tom grew up in a family that owned a meat business and became involved in production from an early age. This hands-on experience laid the foundation for his career in the sector. After studying sports and art, Tom trained as a butcher and caterer, which at the time was a requirement to be allowed to run a meat business.
He gained his first full professional experience at Boekos in the Netherlands, a pig slaughterhouse and meat processing company based in Boekel. He started in production and later moved into sales, where he was responsible for export to, among others, the United Kingdom and France.
After short professional stints at PCM, BELMEAT and PUBLIWEST, Tom decided to become self-employed. As an independent representative, he worked with several companies, including LAPERE and GOLDKIP in the poultry sector.
Since 2010, Tom has focused entirely on SAVOS in its current form, acting as a specialized partner in the supply of poultry meat for meat processing companies and the snack industry.
In addition to his core business, Tom is also involved in FOX FLAMBÉ, a culinary workshop concept that organizes professional cooking workshops. He is also a highly active foodie with a strong passion for gastronomy.
Sandra De Vusser
Finance & Logistics
Sandra began her professional career as a French and German translator before moving into the jewelry trade in Antwerp. After a few years, she relocated to Bruges to work as a logistics manager at SUPREMO, a trader of green coffee.
It was during this period that she met Tom De Vos, and they have been an inseparable couple ever since. After twenty years at SUPREMO, Sandra followed her general manager to a new challenge at BRIZ COFFEE.
Later, she chose to take on a dual role and joined Savos, where she took responsibility for logistics, administration, and quality management. Today, Sandra works full-time at Savos and is an indispensable part of the team.
Charles Blanc
Sales manager
Charles has built his career in the international poultry and food industry, with nearly 30 years of experience in B2B sales, export trading, and commercial management across Europe, focusing on poultry producers and meat processing companies.
After studying economics and international commerce in France, he began his career at the Doux Group, then Europe’s leading poultry producer, starting in logistics before moving into sales for industrial customers in Germany and Austria. In 2003, he founded an international food trading company, working closely with producers and processing plants to negotiate high-volume contracts and develop long-term partnerships across multiple European markets.
Today, Charles brings his international experience, operational understanding, and entrepreneurial mindset to SAVOS, supporting the company as a specialized partner in the supply of poultry meat to processing plants and industrial customers. Fluent in French, German, and English, he contributes to strengthening SAVOS’ position in European markets.
