Visiting the company Sidec, Leo Ooms and Marie-Madeleine Indekeu

Sidec is a warm family business since 1986, firmly anchored in the Kempen sandy soil and grown into a global player under the wings of CEO Yves Jonckers. The story of Sidec begins in the sixties with a remarkable experiment. The father-in-law wanted to make the stones in a friend's aquarium more beautiful by coloring them. His first attempt turned into a disaster: the next day all the fish were dead. But he did not give up and continued to experiment until he found a safe and aesthetic solution. An approach that worked. Sidec is still a warm family business and has meanwhile grown strongly. They offer their products in more than 50 countries and developed into the global market leader in the coloring of granulates. As a pioneer in the industry, Sidec has developed the high-quality colored quartz that is perfect for floors, walls, and decorative applications.
