150 years of Mauquoy - Craftsmanship that transcends generations
30.06.2025 Grobbendonk - Few companies in Belgium can say they have existed for a century and a half, but Mauquoy is one of them. What began as a small engraving workshop in Antwerp in 1875 has grown into the Belgian reference for craftsmanship in engravings, medals and badges of honour.
A century and a half of experience
Over the years, Mauquoy has continued to expand its expertise. Today, they also specialise in custom-made awards, nameplates, fire plates and industrial engravings. Official badges of honour, commemorative medals and accessories for service clubs are also among their offerings. All made or finished by hand.
Heritage with a vision of the future
The passion for metalworking is deep in Mauquoy's DNA. For generations, craftsmen have been perfecting their craft there, from traditional engraving techniques to high-tech machinery in their production workshop. With a modern engraving workshop and updated machinery, the company is ready for the future while staying true to its roots.
"At Mauquoy, we combine tradition and technology. Craftsmanship and innovative techniques go hand in hand here," says Tom Jansen, CEO of Mauquoy. "150 years of a company's existence is not a random event. It is the result of generations of craftsmanship, passion and a relentless drive to keep innovating."
Quality and flexibility as an asset
Traditional techniques such as pressing, sandblasting and patination remain an important part of the production process. Local production and a strong network allow the company to respond flexibly to last-minute requests without compromising on quality.
Party for the makers
Mauquoy would not exist 150 years without its employees. That is why the milestone is entirely dedicated to the team. A culinary feast, tributes and appreciation for the people behind the success are at the heart of this celebration.
Mauquoy is also launching an exclusive anniversary medal in a limited edition of 150 pieces, 20 of which are silver. These copies will be offered to special relations.
"Our anniversary medal is a tribute to our heritage as well as a piece of Belgian craftsmanship that you can get your hands on," Jansen emphasises.
