Anco Pasta

Anco is a well-established Belgian brand that has been a staple in European kitchens for decades. Founded in 1947, it quickly became synonymous with quality durum wheat pasta and baking products, originating from the Belgian town of Turnhout. The brand’s product line includes various pasta shapes, flour mixes, and sauces, maintaining a strong reputation for consistency and culinary heritage.

In 2001, the brand was acquired by Soubry, another major Belgian pasta manufacturer. This consolidation brought together two of the country's most significant pasta producers, allowing for streamlined manufacturing and expanded distribution. Today, Anco products are primarily manufactured at Soubry's facilities in Roeselare, Belgium, ensuring that the brand maintains its local roots while benefiting from advanced industrial pasta-making capabilities.

As of 2024 and beyond, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Soubry NV group. Soubry is a family-owned Belgian conglomerate that dominates the regional pasta market. Their ownership ensures that Anco continues to operate as a premier Belgian label, focusing on the Benelux market while exporting to neighboring European countries. The company emphasizes high-protein durum wheat sourcing and sustainable production methods.
