Overview

Headquartered in Lochem, the Netherlands, Mepal’s products are renowned for their original and premium design, functionality, convenience, quality and sustainability.

The company has experienced impressive growth since 2018 driven by organic expansion into food retail and other large retail chains in Germany and increased e-commerce revenue. Mepal has a strong track record in both innovation and design, winning numerous leading design awards. Mepal differentiates itself from the competition based on premium design, functionality, product quality and a history of innovation, in terms of both re-designing existing concepts and launching new product lines.

How we add value

We are supporting Mepal's continued growth in its existing core markets of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, as well as developing new markets in Europe. In addition, we will support Mepal in growing its online business, further benefitting from increased e-commerce opportunities.

Mepal has a strong focus on ESG and received B-Corp certification in 2024. The company is focused on increasing the share of recyclable materials in its production process and customers can re-order parts to extend the lifecycle of their products. Additionally, the products themselves help reduce food waste and the usage of single-use packaging, such as plastic bags and single-use cups and bottles.
