POP: a manufacturer of creative and innovative POS solutions

You might not realise it, but you’ve probably already seen us around… Every day, POP Solutions supplies creative and innovative POS solutions designed to enhance the visibility of brands at points of sale in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and Germany. Examples include a Red Bull unit, a Tilman display and Garnier shelves. In Belgium POP delivers solutions for distributors and brands in many major sectors, including pharmaceuticals, FMCG, DIY and more.

Creativity driving visibility

To process the thousands of orders it receives every year for POS materials, POP Solutions relies on the expertise of its employees based in Belgium (Nivelles, Kontich, Mechelen & Liège), the Netherlands (Amersfoort) and Germany (Aachen). They are firmly focused on remaining flexible, agile, and ambitious as they tackle the challenges facing the sector and society at large.

Each Group entity has its own professional team of industrial creatives who have been trained and immersed in these challenges by the Sustainability department. These experts know the situation out in the field and support brands in their choice of design and materials, taking an approach that combines aesthetics, functionality and eco-design. Whatever the sector (FMCG, DIY, automotive, pharmaceuticals, etc.), our designers come up with high-impact, customised POS solutions that convey your brand values while creating a direct link between product and consumer for an engaging shopper experience.

 

A range of integrated POS solutions

Our 26,000 m2 one-stop shop brings together all our talented personnel and departments under a single group, making POP a unique partner capable not only of producing multi-material POS solutions, but also of delivering valuable services throughout the entire life of the project, from the initial brainstorming session on innovation, design and sustainability, to eco-design and logistics. Our ability to deliver a complete and integrated service, and to do so entirely in-house, guarantees control over the entire value chain, delivering the peace of mind our clients value so highly!

And our personal follow-up ensures our collaboration goes well beyond that of a simple supplier-customer relationship. It enables us to dream up, produce and deploy ambitious projects, such as this inspirational POS solution resulting from our long-term partnership with Fline. POP is more than just a manufacturer of POS materials: it is a true growth partner for its clients!

Committed to a sustainable future

The Group won an EcoVadis Gold Medal for the second year in a row in 2023, clear evidence of its firm commitment to a sustainable and responsible growth strategy in both Belgium and Western Europe. Some of its initiatives include:

  • an FSC-certified plant with a majority of materials either labelled or sustainable;
  • an R&D unit focusing on alternative, environmentally friendly materials;
  • low-energy buildings with LED lighting;
  • an energy-efficient manufacturing process and 100% green energy used for all activities;
  • partners and suppliers who are mainly Belgian and European, to promote the local economy;
  • a charter for suppliers to encourage them to reduce their overall footprint and comply with the EUDR (European Regulation on Deforestation-free Products) concerning ensuring the traceability of paper and cardboard.

 

 

In 2022 we launched a CO2 footprint reduction plan to minimise the environmental impact of our products and solutions, taking an approach focusing on continuous improvement and eco-design. A new department measures the carbon footprint of POS equipment and has already helped around 20 of our clients, including the National Lottery and EG! POP is doing everything it can to ensure that by 2030 all of its projects comply with all standards on circularity, from creation to installation to logistics and storage. In fact, it was in that spirit that we designed Infinity, the first circular standard display: modular, sustainable and 100% recyclable!

 

This approach also aims to help our clients – brands and advertisers – to achieve their goals and meet their non-financial reporting requirements under the European Green Deal (CSRD) and the European Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence. This now includes measuring the product environmental footprint (PEF)

Non-stop growth

This Belgian company has come a long way since it was founded in 2007 by John Morent and Pascal Vandecaveye. While it got its start in the production of cardboard displays, POP has grown organically and expanded its expertise through acquisitions to become a major player in the creation of promotional point-of-sale (POS)materials.

Today, the company is a cross-industry leader in the conception, design and manufacture of multi-material POS solutions, with hundreds of clients in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and Germany. And it continues to grow! Following BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity’s acquisition of a minority shareholding in late 2023, POP intends to strengthen its market position and its commitment to an environmentally friendly and sustainable world, both in the Benelux countries and in Western Europe.
