A Belgian success story since 1935

Out of a passion for bicycles and strollers, friends Louis De Brucker and Francis Pluym started a mold shop in a garage in Antwerp. There they produced molds in Bakelite for telephones. Louis and Francis thus became the founders of DBP.

The world's first plastic bread box rolled off our production line. The somewhat modernized version of this bread box is still one of our bestsellers today.

Production moves to the Dokter Van Raesstraat in Hoboken with new, revolutionary machines. Thanks to the evolution in chemistry and plastics, the technique of injection molding takes over and Bakelite molding disappears from production.

In the 1960s, the torch is passed to the 2nd generation in the company. Louis De Brucker's children, Frans and Jos, take charge of the technical side and the production side. Along side Francis Pluym, daughter Liliane continues the commercial side.

DBP has been producing the boxes for IJsboerke for some time. Thanks to the rise of frozen ice cream, DBP comes up with the idea of making storage boxes for the freezer. In 1966 the iconic white frozen box with blue lid makes its appearance in our assortment.

DBP moves to the Terbekehof industrial park in Wilrijk as its first company. Where it is still located today.

Thanks to the innovative In Label Moulding technique, developed under the direction of Jos De Brucker, DBP is becoming the partner of choice for personalized plastic products.

The Pluym family leaves the company, the De Brucker family takes over. The third generation of the De Brucker family also enters the business.

A second production hall is being built. This will significantly increase our production capacity.

Myriam De Brucker takes over as general manager. She is pushing even harder for innovation and sustainability.

Myriam De Brucker buys the shares from Martine, Luc and Jan and thus becomes the main shareholder at DBP Plastics. 

DBP launches new lifestyle brand Amuse. 

On the first Sunday of October, DBP participates in VOKA Open Companies Day. This event attracts 1,650 people to our factory. An enormous success. 

DBP Plastics is part of the Euronyl Plastics Group. This provides financial and technical support for continued growth and innovation in Belgium. 

DBP is moving further down the path of reusable take-away products and HoReCa packaging.
