Our story

From Belgium and Germany to the world

1993

Roger Anné founds Aminolabs

After studying chemical engineering in Eindhoven, founder Roger Anné started buying and selling amino acids: the building blocks of protein products. He made his first connections in Japan, where he quickly found his first supplier.

1999

The first protein powders

The demand for powdered amino acids slowly grew. Together, Roger and his mother Josephine developed their first compound protein powder. That same year, he hired his first two employees: Jos has since retired and Jessie celebrated her 25th work anniversary in 2024.

2007

New headquarters and production site

After significant growth, the company relocated to the Research Campus in Hasselt. On the site of the former Philips factory, Aminolabs built a brand-new production facility with laboratories and offices, where the first capsules and tablets were produced.

2015

Growth through European acquisitions

The partnership with investment company Waterland Private Equity became a catalyst for acquisitions in Belgium, Germany and Croatia. The large powder plant in Bleckede, Germany also became part of Aminolabs. Thanks to these targeted acquisitions, production capacity continued to grow.

2018

Broader focus on sports and lifestyle

As more and more people began actively taking their health into their own hands, Aminolabs emerged as a leader in sports nutrition, with a focus on high-quality nutritional supplements for a healthy lifestyle.

2020

EMPWR charts its own course

In 2020, Aminolabs split from its subsidiary EMPWR Nutrition. This proved to be a strategic decision and the producer of high-quality nutrition bars began charting its own independent course.

2023

Founder Roger Anné back at the helm

Aminolabs celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2023. That same year, Roger Anné and the management team regained ownership of the company, with the support of the Limburg Reconversion Company (LRM).

2024

Strategic innovation with plant-based proteins

Consumers are demanding more sustainable products with natural compositions. In its own labs, Aminolabs is developing a balanced plant-based protein blend as an alternative to traditional whey powders. An innovative milestone and a game-changer in the taste experience of protein powders.

2025

Continued ambition in quality and growth

Over the years, Aminolabs has built a strong reputation as a full-service partner for quality sports nutrition and supplements. And the ambitions remain keen. The next goal? To become the largest European contract manufacturer with an eye for all customers, from growing entrepreneurs to major brands with a global sales market.

Global partner with a European base

Our 260 employees set their sights on the world. Every day, we build on our Belgian expertise and German quality standards to guarantee the best possible service for our customers. From Hasselt to Hamburg and from Africa to America.
