Manna in the past
Manna in the past
1935
Where it all began
Henri Van den Broeck, the founder of Producten Manna, got the bright idea in 1935 to sell pickled herring. He cleaned it by hand and sold it from door to door. All this with horse and cart!
1950
Extension of product range
After the Second World War, more and more chip shops opened their doors. We saw this as the perfect opportunity to market our Manna mayonnaise. The precursor to an extensive range of more than 100 delicious sauces.
80s
Launch Manna Bolognese
In the 80s Johny Van den Broeck, grandson of founder Henri, developed the iconic Manna Bolognese. For generations, this sauce has been custom-made for Belgian taste buds.
1999
Big move
Because the site in Schoten became too small, we moved our administrative offices in 1999 to the new building in Wijnegem.
2004
Acquisition
In 2004, Sylvie Van den Broeck, the great-granddaughter of Henri Van den Broeck, took over. Manna is therefore still 100% a family business.
2006
More space
In 2006, a large warehouse was built in Wijnegem. From here we spread our delicious sauce all over the world!
2018
Even more space
Due to the enormous growth, there was once again a need for extra space.
That is why a large warehouse was purchased in 2018, right next to the current factory on the Albert Canal. The future of Manna in Schoten and Wijnegem is therefore assured!
