Welcome to Vegeco
We are a 100% vegan, family-owned company based in the UK.
Specialists in the import, export, manufacture and distribution of vegan products.
hello!
Vegeco is a vegan company specialising in vegan and eco-friendly products.
Vegan products have seen significant growth since we established ourselves in 2003 and as vegans ourselves, we’ve seen simple soya and tofu alternatives in the 1990’s develop over the years into hundreds of alternatives with mainstream supermarkets dedicating entire sections to meat-free products.
But it’s not all about removing the meat from the meal for people. We’ve experienced increased demand for more ethically sourced ingredients, packaging that can be recycled or biodegrade and products to replace meat pet foods, for most, the last meat in their homes.
About Us
Vegan founders Darrell and Damian wanted change and saw an opportunity to make a difference through ethical business.
Originally established in 2003 as Vegecommerce and incorporated in 2006 as Vegeco Ltd. Our company philosophy is that we can enable many people to make the changes in their diet and lifestyle, not by campaigning, but by providing real solutions.
Compassion. Integrity. Sustainability. Progress.
From our base in the old market town of Havant on the South coast of England, we distribute ethical goods across the World.

Our knowledge at your service
Demand for vegan, eco-friendly and ethical products is growing
Vegeco director’s Damian Eadie and Darrell de Vries have been interviewed for newpapers, magazines, radio and TV on the subject of vegetarian and vegan pet food.
These include The Guardian, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, BBC Radio and Channel 5.
Our experience in importing, distributing and exporting vegetarian and vegan pet food since 2003 means we know the market and it’s trends better than most.

“Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends.”
We agree with George Bernard Shaw and many others for that matter, including Albert Einstein, Paul McCartney, Darwin and Tolstoy, that animals and creatures are part of the beauty of the planet we share and killing for pleasure or palate is needless.
As vegetarians and vegans ourselves we have first hand experience with products and markets and share ethics and views with our customers that aren’t there for show, they’re part of our personal core values.
As well as loving and respecting animals, we like our environment too and do what we can to help it.
Where possible we re-use paper and card packaging, so don’t be surprised if your dog chews turns up in a vegan cheese branded box! Any paper, tin and plastic that can’t be reused goes into our recycling bin and is processed by a local waste management company.
They also take our non-recyclable waste and have a zero-to landfill policy, so energy from the waste is recovered and the rest filtered at ground level so the only thing that comes out their chimney is water vapour! 🙂
