More than 200 years of experience

Since our establishment in 1796 by P. Corbeels and P.J. Brepols, we have been a driving force behind the development of the graphic industry. Early on in its existence, Brepols was already focusing on markets outside of Belgium. In the 19th century we exported to more than 100 countries worldwide. Nowadays our extraordinary bond with paper is apparent in every Brepols product. The devotion and craftsmanship are almost tangible as you turn a page.

Within the retail sector, Brepols targets the specialist trade, office suppliers and department stores or hypermarkets. In this field we have a leading market position with the Benelux. In France we are becoming stronger every year and as a result of that we have by now acquired an important position there as well.

Does the paper diary have a future?

This is probably the question that we at Brepols hear most often. And the answer is a resounding 'yes'. No less than 76% of people who are 18 years and older use a paper diary. And 20% of this group even have more than one. Mostly to separate their private lives and work, but also as a general diary within the household. That was revealed in a poll conducted by GfK for Brepols with 3.417 people in Belgium and the Netherlands. Even people who use an additional electronic solution cannot imagine themselves working without paper diaries.
