We are Stoopen & Meeus
/ colour and texture since 1894 /
Established in 1894, Antwerp
The founders
In 1894, Edmond Stoopen and Paul Meeus laid the foundations in Antwerp for a global legacy in colour. What began as a local factory soon grew into an international pioneer in the field of exports. Our early, legendary ‘Dragon’ pigments stood out thanks to strictly guarded formulas and an unrivalled depth of colour that was highly sought after worldwide.
From history to the future
Today, a new generation, led by Sebastiaan Monsieurs & Roots Partners, is passionately carrying on this family tradition. With a personal and committed approach, we are continuing to build on our historic heritage. We are ready for the next 100 years, in which we will seamlessly combine traditional craftsmanship with forward-looking innovation.
Our Expertise
Our expertise now extends far beyond raw mineral powders alone. Stoopen & Meeus offers a comprehensive and harmonious range of architectural products:
- Pigments: Pure raw materials with exceptional colour intensity.
- Mineral paints: Iconic and breathable paint ranges, such as our authentic Limepaint and modern, water-resistant Kalei.
- Technical plasters: High-quality, aesthetic finishes for walls, floors and wet rooms (such as StucDeco, StucGranito and StucVestre).
Environmentally conscious and sustainable
Our mineral products are designed with the future and environmental responsibility in mind. By resolutely opting for natural, mineral-based formulations and strictly avoiding harmful VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), we contribute to a healthier indoor climate and an environmentally friendly living environment.
