Remia, in Den Dolder

Remia is a Dutch producer of margarine, tomato ketchup, salad dressings and sauces,[1] based in Den Dolder.

History[edit]

Remia originated in October 1925, when Arie de Rooij began to produce margarine and butter in his Amersfoort-based garage and basement. Later, he started up a mixing plant in which margarine with butter was mixed. De Rooij's Electrical Melangeer Installation Amersfoort, abbreviated Remia was a fact. Remia then grew rapidly, and in 1951, the company moved to larger premises in Den Dolder. In 1960 a modern sauce factory was opened. Since then, the company is best known for its range of sauces.

Acquisitions[edit]

As of August 4, 2011 Remia took over the sauces activities of Van Dijk Food Products in Lopik. In addition, both companies entered into a strategic partnership. As of April 30, 2010 Remia took over the mustard-factory De Marne's Fabrieken BV from the France-based Gyma Group.[2] In 2015 (1 February) Remia acquired Yillys Food Concepts B.V which is well-known for its Yil’driz sauce portfolio.[3]
