Our start

A third-generation tradition

In 2007 Tom De Stoop and Veerle Anckaert took the helm at De Stoop. Shortly afterwards the company decided to invest in a new building in Waregem.

Thanks to that step we earn our IFS certificate again every year. It was also the start of dynamic growth in quality and service, together with our customers.
