Mepal storage container

Mepal is a renowned Dutch brand specializing in high-quality plastic consumer products for storing and serving food and drinks. Founded in 1950 by Jan Paerel in the Netherlands, the company established its headquarters in Lochem. The brand is famous for its functional design, influenced by the Bauhaus tradition, emphasizing simplicity and timeless beauty.

Most of Mepal's products are still manufactured in the Netherlands, specifically in Lochem, which is a source of pride for the brand's 'Made in Holland' identity. In late 2021, the British private equity firm 3i Group acquired a majority stake in Mepal to accelerate its international expansion and digital growth. As of 2026, Mepal continues to operate under this ownership, focusing on sustainable household solutions and expanding its presence across European markets including Germany and Belgium.
