Polysto has been a leading player in the design of hygienic interior spaces in the food processing industry for 30 years. With a complete range of walls, ceilings, collision protection and accessories delivered to customer specifications, Polysto is the expert for strong and durable solutions for hygienic constructions. Polysto has an outstanding reputation in fully unburdening the customer by offering an integrated service, from customized panel production, to fit-out and installation at the customer's premises.

In May 2025 Sofindev acquired KeBeK's majority stake in Polysto and has reached an agreement with Polysto's minority shareholders Algimo (the Bostoen family), its founder Alexandre Moreels and Polysto's management, who will also remain on board as shareholders of the company, on a strategic partnership.

Led by CEO Jasper De Jaeger, Polysto has strengthened its leading position worldwide from its main site in Lokeren with a strong international network of distributors, installers, contractors, and architects. As exclusive distributor of Glasliner, the unique wall and ceiling systems made of glass fibre reinforced polyester (FRP) meet the strictest hygiene requirements to which the food industry is subject. Moreover, they are easy to clean, impact- and scratch-resistant, mould resistant, water repellent, chemical resistant, and easy to install, providing a much more durable and cost-efficient solution than traditional panels. With its patented prefabricated bumper Cleanrock, finishing skirting, adhesives, and stainless steel barriers and bollards, maximum protection is offered against mechanical impact.

Especially in the food processing industry, but also in the logistics, industrial, pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, Polysto has built up strong expertise in end-to-end hygienic interior finishing and can count large construction and renovation projects for companies such as What's Cooking, Colruyt, and Agristo among its reputable client portfolio. Given its strong reputation as a high-quality and reliable service provider, Polysto is regarded as the preferred supplier of many food processors.

With this new partnership, Polysto aims to further build on internationalisation and strengthen the group's core activities. With Sofindev’s help, it is management's ambition to further invest in innovation, expand its distribution network through its "master installer" programme, and further expand its customer base. To accelerate growth, future acquisition opportunities will also be considered as well as further expansion in complementary market segments such as life sciences.

“Sofindev’s expertise and support, together with the added value of the Bostoen family, will help us realise our future growth ambitions. Sofindev’s approach fits seamlessly with Polysto’s values and vision, and they have proven to be successful in working with entrepreneurs. This investment will allow us to accelerate our future growth plans and further strengthen our position as a leading hygiene specialist.”
