History

A Belgian company, Meurens Natural is the embodiment of the fine combination of family tradition and industrial know-how in food processing that has been developed for over 100 years.

  • Joseph Meurens started a company in Herve specialising in processing the region’s fruit.
  • With a view to diversification, the first tests in processing organic cereals into syrups were carried out with promising results.
  • Meurens Natural decided on a complete restructuring operation and to devote itself solely to organic cereals by creating the Sipal® brand.
  • So as to keep up with the growth in the organic sector, the company undertook a huge investment programme at its historic site at Herve.
  • Meurens Natural put their know-how to use in the natural sector with the launch of the Natu® range.
  • Meurens Natural obtained FSSC 22000 certification (Food Safety System Certification).
  • A second production site was started up in January 2017.
