Ever since 1959, four pillars have been running through everything we do: our people, our growth, our solutions and our drive. They connect our past with our future, defining who we are and how we continue to shape value that lasts.
On the grounds of the family farm in Wielsbeke, Roger De Clerck founds ‘Ter Lembeek’. The company manufactures upholstery fabrics — at first often made by home weavers.
‘Ter Lembeek’ becomes ‘Beaulieu’, a name inspired by the Beaulieu gate near the River Leie in Aire-sur-la-Lys (northern France), once famous for flax retting.
The company grows rapidly, expanding its textile expertise into carpet manufacturing and related materials such as yarns, fibres, and soft floor coverings.
Roger De Clerck receives the ‘Oscar for the export industry’ - a recognition of Beaulieu’s growing international success.
The company continues its steady expansion, driven by organic growth and a series of strategic acquisitions.
Beaulieu becomes Beaulieu International Group (B.I.G.), marking its evolution into a global industrial group.
With Caroline De Clerck joining the Board of Directors, the third generation takes its place in Beaulieu’s leadership.
Dominiek De Clerck joins the Board of Directors of B.I.G. as a representative of the family. He also chairs the Board of Directors.
After a period of portfolio consolidation, B.I.G. acquires Congoleum Flooring, reinforcing its manufacturing capabilities, product portfolio, and customer base in the North American flooring market.
