Origin of Nestaan
The story of NESTAAN is the fascinating tale of an enterprising Dutch family. A story that traces its origins back to 1926 with the establishment of the flax trader De Groot van Nes, a company that was active in the flax industry for 40 years before transitioning to insulation in the late 1960s.
In 1968, the production of polyurethane foam blocks began in the Netherlands. It was at this time that the name NESTAAN was born, a contraction of "van Nes" and "polyurethane". The company experienced significant growth and, in the 1980s, a Belgian division was created to produce laminated PU sheets.
In 2007, after acquiring Thermica and relocating to Blandain, near Tournai, NESTAAN expanded its business activities by producing vermiculite, a raw material suitable for applications in construction, packaging, agriculture, and horticulture.
Since 2015, NESTAAN SLV has been producing cement and vermiculite-based spray coatings as passive fire protection for various constructions, public infrastructures, and the petrochemical sector.
And the future? It is assured, as under the leadership of the new generation, NESTAAN continues to aim for growth. The goal is to further expand the range and, as today, to provide customers from different sectors with quality products and impeccable service.
