About Pauwels
Pauwels Sauces is one of Europe's largest manufacturers of mayonnaise, ketchup, specialty sauces and vinaigrettes, with roots stretching back to 1909 in Antwerp, Belgium. Founded by Auguste Pauwels, who started by delivering mustard to fishmongers, butchers and grocers by horse and cart, the company's breakthrough came just before World War I when Auguste mixed his mustard with fresh egg yolks to create the first Pauwels Mayonnaise. The company's iconic peacock logo, first registered in 1917, was inspired by founder Auguste's wife Henriette De Pauw. Through generations of the Pauwels family, the business grew from 'Vinaigrerie De Pauw' into a modern sauce powerhouse. A pivotal moment came in 1988 when a new factory in Oelegem marked the beginning of expansion into catering and supermarket sectors across Belgium and internationally. Today, Pauwels produces an impressive 100 million kilograms of sauce annually from production sites in Antwerp and Leuven, with commercial offices in Belgium (headquarters), London and Paris. The company pioneered packaging innovations including the Top Down squeeze tube and the Bag-in-Box distribution system for professional catering. Their range includes beloved Belgian sauces like Andalouse alongside mayonnaise, ketchup and specialty sauces.
