2026 marks a milestone:
Desmet celebrates 80 years of Engineering Excellence.
This year, we open a chapter dedicated to honoring our heritage and the visionary spirit that started it all. In the late 1940s, amid post-war shortages, Mr. Desmet imagined a safer, more efficient way to extract oils — a bold idea that led to the world’s first continuous extractor.
That breakthrough didn’t just change an industry; it laid the foundation for decades of innovation, global expansion, and partnerships built on trust.
As we celebrate this anniversary, we pay tribute to our founder and acknowledge the story that brought us here - a story of ingenuity, progress, and passion.
"Here’s to 80 years of shaping the future of oils & fats together" - says Olivier Hanne
