Back story

1989

Genesis

Our story begins in 1989 on Rue Deschampheleer in the centre of Brussels. There were 8 people in the MSF Belgium offices to buy, store and ship all the orders to the various missions. We had a warehouse of just a few hundred square metres, supplemented by storage at Brucargo in Zaventem.

New premises

A few years later, we followed MSF Belgium to their new premises in Jette and our entire warehouse was transferred to Brucargo (1,500 m²).

Second move

The increase in activity led to a second move to Merchtem, where warehouse and warehouse support were conveniently located in the same place (warehouse – 5,500 m²).

Relocation to Neder-Over-Heembeek to a 12,000 m² warehouse, which was expanded to 16,500 m² in 2018.

MSF Supply today

Today, a team of 120 people handles the quality of products, purchasing on the best terms, product availability, the needs of the missions, correctly storing and managing the equipment, shipping in accordance with the restrictions of the countries in which we operate and producing ready-to-use kits. And they still find time to respond to MSF and partner organisation emergencies.
