Origin of Nestaan

The history of NESTAAN is the fascinating story of an enterprising family from the Netherlands. A story that has its origins in 1926 with the establishment of flax trader De Groot van Nes, a business that was active in the flax industry for 40 years and made the switch to insulation in the late 1960s.

In 1968, production of polyurethane block foam started in the Netherlands. Around this time, the name NESTAAN was born, a contraction of 'van Nes' and 'polyurethane'. The company experienced strong growth and in the 1980s a Belgian division was started up where laminated PU sheets were produced.

In 2007, after acquiring Thermica and moving to Blandain near Tournai, NESTAAN further expanded its business activities by producing vermiculite, a raw material suitable for applications in construction, packaging and agriculture & horticulture.

Since 2015, NESTAAN SLV has been producing cement- and vermiculite-based spray plasters as passive fire protection for various constructions, public infrastructures and the petrochemical sector.

And the future? That is assured, as under the leadership of the next generation, NESTAAN continues to aim for growth. The aim is to further expand the range and, as today, provide customers from different sectors with quality products and flawless service.
