MCC Verstraete US celebrates 5 years
What a ride it has been, these past 5 years. From a pre-production era in an empty building, cleaning the place with a team of only 5 members, to a full-blown plant that has quadrupled its capacity and built out a passionate, skilled team serving the needs of our local customers.
“It’s safe to say that we grew together with the market and our customers. Local production is essential to a lot of US businesses. Considering foreseen investments and the order volumes for the North American market we pull in from Belgium, our 2025 objective is to have 85% of the local needs produced in the US", says Mathieu Nieuwenhuyse, Managing Director Americas at MCC Verstraete.

What sets us apart
What makes MCC Verstraete US special? 3 of our team mates share their thoughts:
“We want to be the best of the best. Because we are specialized in one product and one printing technique, we can pay attention to details in everything we do. Quality comes first.” - John Northlich, plant manager at MCC Verstraete US
"I would add our company culture. Our FLOW values (Flexibility, Learning Capacity, Open Communication and Working in Team) are extremely important to us when working with each other and working with our customers, but it's more than that.
It’s a story about getting things done together, as a team. Our employees really have a say and that makes them care about our business and our product."
Lily Engle, Production Supervisor
Mathieu continues: “When customers or partners visit our plant, they almost can’t believe we print labels here. Our work environment is so clean, well-conditioned and bright. Once they witness how skilled their product is being handled by our team, their satisfaction only increases.”
