MAGIC IN THE MAKING SINCE 1834

What is magic? Hard to say really, because magic defies understanding. It flies in the face of rational explanation. You can’t pin it down. You can’t bottle it. But magic makes wonderful, remarkable things happen.

The magic that we aim to create here at Van Genechten is the extra excitement that our customers’ products generate when they appear in our packaging. It’s a new level of wow that lifts a merely competitive brand into a category beater. It’s the packaging equivalent of stardust that almost makes the pack leap into the shopping basket.

Me and my packaging

“For the past 11 years, working at VGP has been an educational and fun-filled journey, with many opportunities for personal growth.
I started my career as a printing operator and 3 years ago I made the transition to my current role within Logistics & Procurement. VGP highly values a proactive attitude and offers space for fresh ideas focused on efficiency and process improvement. It really makes me feel part of our company’s and our customers’ success. Recently, my colleagues appointed me as one of the ‘Employees of the Year 2021-2022’.
A cool experience!”
