OUR HISTORY

“THREE GEENRATIONS, ONE COMPANY”

Our history of Messiaen goes back to 1966, when Eric Messiaen founded the company Horeca Messiaen in Ghent (Belgium).

After several extensions in Belgium and expansion to France, we decided to go for Spain, and the company Messiaen Mambo Spain was opened by Eric and his son Jean Christophe in 1989 in Alfaz del Pi, Alicante.

Since the first location in Alfaz del Pi, the company has had to change its warehouse up to three times due to the great growth it has had until today.

We are currently based in the municipality of Altea (Alicante) from where we carry out all the management and distribution of our products.

Father and daughter now work hand in hand to continue developing in the food sector.
