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 April 30, 2010, Remia took over the mustard-factory De Marne's Fabrieken BV from the France-based Gyma Group.[2] 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. On February 1, 2015, Remia acquired Yillys Food Concepts BV, which is well-known for its Yil’driz sauce portfolio.[3]
