Origin
In the 1950s and '60s, Belgium was very well known for its flax industry. We, the Seurynck family, were also active in this industry and had a company processing flax into textiles.
Our company was based in Sint-Eloois-Winkel and was managed by Marcel Seurynck. Later on, his son Paul Seurynck joined the company and helped his father turn the flax business into a successful multinational company.
Evolution
Changes in the economy made shifting towards producing polystyrene foam (EPS) a logical step.
In 1970, Paul Seurynck founded the company Seuropak.
As a result of the booming economy and under pressure from competitors, Seuropak decided to replace its older manual machines with brand-new, high-tech and computer-operated machines.
After many years of success, we moved to new, larger buildings on the Gullegem industrial estate. Over the years, our company has continued to grow rapidly. Paul's son Philip Seurynck also came on board, and together father and son developped Seuropak as one of the leading EPS manufacturers in the Benelux. Recently, Sebastiaan Seurynck, the third generation, also joined the family business.
Key to success
Throughout the years, we have always tried to maintain our company as a family business.
Customer satisfaction and tailored service are the two main principles of our way of working.
Thanks to our many years of experience, we at Seuropak can quickly come up with appropriate solutions. This knowledge helps us to always find most suitable product, together with our customers.
