The story behind

About Colac

Our history

  • 1981

    It all began in 1981: that was the year Colac was founded. It was the first company in the world to launch a unique ice cream paste, used as a base for high-quality ice creams.

  • 1990

    In the nineties, Colac considerably expanded its production facilities in Malle. It explored new markets and produced top-quality toppings and dessert sauces. They quickly got a taste for bigger things, and before long they were working on traditional and organic fruit preparations too. Colac products are now a must for artisan and industrial kitchens alike.

  • 2004

    In 2004, Colac was taken over by its current managers. The company continues to focus on quality and innovation.

  • 2010

    In 2008 and in 2012, the product range was modernised and expanded further. At the same time, the production site was expanded a second time. Colac wants to be the top market leader in dessert sauces. On Top Of Your Creations is our motto.

  • 2017

    A third wave of expansion took place in late October 2017. This time, the entire site moved to a new building in Beerse. The new premises is over 10,000m² in size and has a state of the art fleet of machinery to make products of higher and higher quality.
