About us

Bema BV is a proud family enterprise with a rich history. Since our inception in 1990 as a trading company, we have progressively brought more production steps under our own purview. Today, we stand as a strong contender in the packaging industry and are an integral part of the Bema Packaging Group, a collaborative coalition of diverse enterprises.

We take pride in offering top-tier packaging solutions to the meat processing industry, as well as to fish and cheese processing companies. Our products adhere to stringent standards and the elevated requisites of the food industry. Leveraging automated processes, we ensure unwavering, superior quality.

As a segment of the Bema Packaging Group, we have recently broadened our portfolio through the amalgamation of The Flexible Packaging Company B.V., Allied Packaging B.V., and the vacuum expertise of Vervo BV. Guided by our extensive experience and unwavering commitment to innovation, we persistently pursue enhancements in our manufacturing processes and service provisions.

Bema is ISO, BRC, and Halal certified! This means that we not only comply with international quality and food safety standards but also with the specific requirements of our diverse customers.
