1904

Scaldis started crushing oilseeds in the early 1900s. Scaldis – Latin for Schelde – reflects our location next to the river and our direct water connection with several European main ports.

The use of Linseedoil as a paint ingredient goes back as far as the ancient Egyptian culture. Dutch painters like Rembrandt highly appreciated the quality of Linseed Standoil to make his concentrated pigment pastas. During the second half of the 18th century, industrial printing and inks were developed based on Linseedoil.

Our region has always been related to the linen cloth industry and hence there is a flourishing Linseedoil industry in Flanders/Belgium. The Linseedoil is either used locally or exported to over 60 countries worldwide now. Linseed cake is a valuable ingredient in animal feed (all-mash) in the wider region here.
