Mega by our side: two companies from Liège, one vision

Production site of the syrup factory in Aubel in the Liège region

When two Liège-based companies move forward with the same vision, it makes for a great story. Our collaboration with Mega is based on a simple conviction: a local and human-centred partner changes everything.

A meeting between neighbours from Liège

Our syrup maker and Mega share the same territory and, above all, the same philosophy of proximity. Through a video made with them, we look back at an essential issue for a company like ours: being able to count on a solid, human and truly available partner to support our development and our ambitions over the long term.

Two businesses firmly rooted in the Liège region, shared values and a shared long-term vision: these are the ingredients of a collaboration that goes far beyond a simple business relationship. Between neighbours who understand one another, trust is built naturally, through ongoing exchanges and projects carried out side by side.

Energy, an issue that is far from trivial

Making syrup requires a lot of cooking, and therefore a lot of energy. For an industrial company like ours, choosing a supplier is no trivial matter: it is a truly strategic challenge, affecting our production costs, our day-to-day reliability, and our increasingly demanding commitments to environmental sustainability.

Working with a responsive and accessible partner who understands our operational reality and speaks the same language as us makes moving forward much smoother. That is precisely what we found at Mega, an independent energy supplier based in Liège, close to its customers and attentive to the practical needs of businesses in the region.

The local presence, the strength of a group

What appealed to us was this rather rare combination: the personal touch of a local supplier, reinforced by the backing of a European group operating in numerous countries. It is a way to combine attentiveness, responsiveness and security of supply, without ever sacrificing the relationship of trust that is so dear to us. In short, the best of both worlds.

For a family-run business that always takes a long-term view, this stability is invaluable. It gives us the clarity we need to move forward with confidence on our future projects, from the expansion of our Aubel site to our ambitions for international growth. Knowing who we can count on profoundly changes the way we do business.

Energy in the service of taste

Behind every jar of syrup lies an essential step: the slow cooking of the fruit juices, which requires controlled and constant energy. Being able to rely on a reliable supplier therefore guarantees the consistency of our production and, at the end of the chain, the consistency of the taste that you find in your jar.

As we expand our site and increase our capacity, this solid energy foundation becomes even more important. A partner who understands our industrial challenges and constraints enables us to invest with confidence, without fear of the unexpected, and to prepare calmly for the next stages of our growth.

  • The proximity of a local actor, based in Liège, who is responsive and easy to reach on a daily basis.
  • The strength of a European group, a guarantee of stability and security of supply.
  • Shared values of trust, transparency and long-term commitment.

Moving forward together, sustainably

Ultimately, this collaboration mirrors the way we work with our tree growers: we choose trusted partners, we make a long-term commitment and we build patiently, together. For us, being local isn’t just a sales pitch: it’s a genuine way of doing business, true to our Liège roots and our values.
