WHO IS REALCO

REALCO is a Belgian company located in the Parc Scientifique at Louvain-La-Neuve (30km south of Brussels) and is THE expert in the field of biotechnology products for cleaning, waste water treatment and animal husbandry.

Since 1968, REALCO has researched, developed, manufactured and marketed unique products for cleaning and waste water treatment using chemical and biochemical expertise. REALCO caters for the specific needs of both individual users and professional users offering solutions that meet their expectations in terms of: product performance, compliance with health regulations, safe usage and environmental concerns.
RESEARCH

For over 30 years, our ‘R&D’ department (Research and Development) has worked constantly to design new products, improve manufacturing processes and develop new applications. Research results enable REALCO to regularly market innovative products that best meet customers’ special requirements.

REALCO’s reputation lies in its capacity to create enzyme based products based on biotechnological research, through its own R&D Department and through working with the UCL and ULB universities. Enzymes are natural (protein) molecules that have unbeatable cleaning powers and that accelerate the waste water purification process. REALCO was the first to introduce enzymes into industrial detergents because of their exceptional cleaning power.

In order to effectively meet the expectations of each type of customer, our commercial activities are grouped under 3 distinct divisions: Business to Business (BtoB), Business to Consumer (BtoC) and Export.

BtoB

The BtoB division offers detergent and waste water treatment products intended for industry and institutions:
  • Institutions (hospitals, schools, factories, etc.):
    A range of products based on enzymes and bacteria-enzyme combinations that fulfil all requirements for cleaning (meeting HACCP standards) and elimination of biofilm.
  • The food industry: Products cater for 4 fundamental needs: floors and surfaces, tunnel washers, production entities (CIP= Cleaning-In-Place), and grease removal tanks and membrane filters.
  • Purification stations: REALCO has developed a unique process for converting substances that are not easily treatable into readily assimilable material.
