Becoming business of the year doesn't happen by chance.
You need a robust vision. And above all, exceptional people. And that's why we need to tip our hats to our team of 2 500 employees. Why did the professional jury pick us? Because over the course of the last 60 years, we have developed into a versatile, international company with a truly unique and family-oriented DNA. We have accomplished this by deliberately focusing on four pillars: diversification, vertical integration, innovation, and sustainability. This is a strategy of long-term value creation that Willy himself continues to pursue today.

One group.
Five areas of specialisation.
"If you want something done right, do it yourself." With this in mind, Willy built his first chicken coop 60 years ago. Today, this ethos continues to drive the entire Willy Naessens Group. It's why we handle almost everything in-house. Our areas of specialisation span five diverse sectors: Build, Concrete, Pools, Food, and Invest. The result? We can pivot more rapidly across sectors, and our customers reap the benefits.
Creative employees.
Innovative results.
Every product starts with a groundbreaking idea. And the best ideas begin with people. That's why we actively encourage our employees to be critical, to think creatively, and to use their initiative. People are, and will continue to be, our greatest source of innovation. The Circle, BIM, and our fully automated high-bay warehouse are living proof of this.
Sustainability comes first.
Today and tomorrow.
We aren't just a company driven by ambition. We're also committed to sustainable and responsible growth and ensuring that we have a positive impact on both this generation and the next. That's why we have developed a sustainability strategy founded on three pillars: environmental responsibility, social engagement, and good governance. This keeps us accountable and also sets a benchmark for the construction and food sectors.
