Pietercil Brokerage

Pioneering FMCG partner with a full-service approach as a distributor. We wish to embed ambitious brands locally and help them conquer new markets. Pietercil Brokerage is currently a partner to over 90 brands in 4 different countries. Our 180 experts are there each day to put your brand on the map in the local market.

Beliès

Beliès is a Belgian family business with a passion for fresh Mediterranean food. 15 years ago, we started with olives and this is concealed in our name: the B for Belgium and eliès or ελιές, the Greek word for olives. Over the years, we have expanded our expertise in fresh Mediterranean specialities: olives, dips and antipasti. This is all done from our own ultra-modern production site in Belgium, where our focus lies on the European market. Our expertise rests on four fundamental aspects: authentic products, superior quality, successful commercial approach and well-organised production. In our work, we seek partnership across the entire chain, both with our customers and our suppliers.
