History
When Raf Van Gorp founded Ravago in 1961, he

was given the opportunity to buy the premises of a
dynamite company in Arendonk, Belgium. This
enabled him to work out the luminous idea he had:
recycling production waste from the plastics
producing petrochemical companies.
From there, the company grew into a successful

service provider to the petrochemical industry as a
distributor and reseller of plastic resins. Production
and distribution of building products guaranteed a
second revenue line in Europe. Distribution and
trading of chemicals is the most recent activity of the
Group.
Today, the Ravago Group is the number one service

provider in the global market of plastics, rubber and
chemicals.
