History

History

We have been in business since 1951. In that year, J.A.P. Spiering launched the company under the name Zuid Hollands Loonpakkerijbedrijf (later changed to Kompak). The fourth generation Spiering is now working in the family business.

In recent years, we have developed into a major partner in the co-making and co-packing of food and home & personal care products. In order to focus even more strongly on our core business – mixing, packing and repacking food products – in the future, we will be known as Amixo from 1 January 2020.

Our history determines the present and helps to steer the future. We cherish our history: it indicates who we are and what we stand for and shows what you can build on.
