What is established and what is not

No researcher review has been written for this company yet. 8 official records from 5 official sources are on file. 6 other entries are not official records: our own technical checks and searches, open directory listings, our inferences or the company's own statements. Everything is listed below with its evidence type: each entry confirms only what it literally says; none of them is a review. Nothing here confirms manufacturing, ownership or trading status beyond what each record literally says.

Facts on file, each with its evidence type

• Certificates named on their own site (record type: certificate-page-on-site; this record does not by itself establish manufacturing) [stated or published by the company, not an official record; status amber] Shows where the company itself claims the certificate, so you can open that page and judge it. checked 2026-08-11. Company's own certification page
• Website domain registered (record type: domain-registered) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] Shows how long this web address has been registered. That is the age of the domain, not of the company: a domain can change owners. checked 2026-08-09. Domain registry record
• Business email on the company's own domain (record type: corporate-mail-on-domain) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] Shows the domain runs its own email rather than a free mailbox.

• No match found on the sanctions lists we checked (record type: sanctions-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; name search, no matching candidate] We searched the public sanctions datasets and found no matching candidate.

• No match found in the debarment registers we checked (record type: debarment-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; name search, no matching candidate] We searched the public debarment datasets and found no matching candidate. Absence from these lists is a search result, not a certificate. checked 2026-08-09. OpenSanctions
• First recorded on the web archive (record type: web-presence-since) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] The company website was already online in 1996.

• Street address on file in the state register (record type: registered-address) [official record; status green] Registered address: Genthof 5, 9255 Buggenhout.

• On the company register (record type: registered-since) [official record; status green] On the company register since 1979-06-02.

A public buyer selected this supplier through an official tender. Open the source for the contracts themselves. effective since 2026-07-16. TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), EU public procurement award notices Hier draagt de gunning ook een controle van een ander: in de EU en de EER moet een publieke inkoper inschrijvers uitsluiten die zijn veroordeeld voor fraude, corruptie of witwassen, en degenen bij wie een definitief besluit belasting of premieschulden heeft vastgesteld. Die controle gold voor die aanbesteding op de datum van gunning: ze toont niet de huidige situatie van het bedrijf, en een gunning toont niet dat het contract is uitgevoerd. Directive 2014/24/EU, Article 57 (exclusion grounds)
