ALYSSE FOOD: Healthy growth and numerous extensions year after year.
Since 1995, Alysse Food has been producing and distributing American-style baked goods, such as bagels, muffins, brownies, and cupcakes, for the catering, retail, and bakery industries. Based in Seneffe, the company employs just over 200 people.
“IMBC is much more than just a money lender. Above all, our relationship is based on reflection and a commitment to achieving global and sustainable efficiency,” Samuel Kupchik, Founder and Managing Director.
Founded in Brussels in 1995, Alysse Food invested in the construction of a more ambitious building in Seneffe in 1998. It was at this time that the company began working with IMBC, alongside a bank, to finance the project.
Since then, the company has continued to invest year after year, balancing financing from IMBC, bank loans, and equity capital to upgrade its buildings and production equipment.
This strategy has not only led to building extensions but also to the installation of high-performance production lines to meet the growing demand in the Belgian market and for exports. Currently, 85% of its business comes from exports.
In 2012, Alysse Food began construction on a new building adjacent to the original one. This was followed by the purchase of production lines, which were commissioned in 2014.
“Our interactions with IMBC stand out from those with banks because they are based on a strong, long-standing relationship of trust. IMBC continually seeks out new ways to create value and keeps us informed,” explains Samuel Kupchik.
Today, Alysse Food is a major employer, and its reputation has spread far beyond Belgium.
