Renmans' headquarters are divided between Londerzeel and Mons. From Londerzeel, every day delivery trucks distribute first-class prepared charcuterie and meat products to dozens of branches, demonstrating the group's commitment to supplying quality meat.
Henri Renmans, who gained his experience as a member of thehe management of Colruyt in the 1970s, and his wife Nicole Albert went independent in 1978, taking over five butcher's shops. By 1980, they had expanded their business with an offer from Aldi, followed by the opening of a second branch in 1983. In just three years, they had opened around a hundred stores.
However, in 2014, a conflict emerged when meat producers blockaded Renmans' distribution center, accusing them of selling meat at devaluing prices, jeopardizing farm incomes. This situation led Renmans to review its purchase prices from farmers.
Renmans stands out not only for its ability to supply quality products, but also by its family management. The Renmans family holds the majority of shares in the holding company Brabholdwith the family Bovy as second major shareholder. Henri Renmans, supported by his wife and sons Rik and Nico, all holding key management roles, remains the company's main decision-maker.
