Mission: To help our partners succeed in creating a more beautiful, comfortable and sustainable living environment.
Your partner in the design of public and private spaces.
Since 1945, MBI's stone masters have been committed to creating a more beautiful living environment; in quality, comfort, durability, colour and shape. MBI produces high-quality paving and facade solutions and imports ceramic wall and floor tiles from abroad for public and private use. MBI thus offers a wide range of products for consumers, companies and the government. Product development is based on the idea that our (public) space contributes to broader social goals such as safety, sustainability and health. Our playing field focuses on all areas of use of outdoor space; housing, roads, shopping, working and welfare.

The Stone Masters
Family business since 1945
In over three quarters of a century, MBI has grown into a multidisciplinary company. Active in the Construction, Infra and Garden sectors. The stable foundation is and remains our Steenmeestership; our knowledge of concrete. A solid foundation was laid in 1945 with five core values that remain guiding principles to this day: ownership, inventiveness, eye for detail, team spirit and eagerness to learn.
Together we make the difference
With a wink, we sometimes say that our employees have blue-yellow blood. We are particularly proud of our Steenmeester because the level of commitment is very high. This benefits the quality of our beautiful products that we produce in our four factories. Basically, we only work with the highest-quality materials and production techniques, but our Steenmeesters make the real difference. In the production process but also in our services. Products can be copied but people cannot. Always wanting to achieve the highest possible, for ourselves but also for the customer. Together, we make the difference!
Our people
When we talk about our people, it's about our Stone Masters. With an eye for detail, eager to learn but above all with a team player mentality. This applies to the relationships among ourselves but also towards our customers. Together with our people, we think in terms of possibilities, putting our customer's interests first. That may sound cliché, but come and experience it for yourself!
A family business really does have a different culture. No matter how big we are, we always put people first. You notice that as an employee but also as a customer, supplier and even transporter. Working with MBI is not just for a short while, it is for life! Forty years of service is quite normal at MBI. Of course, we are proud of that!
Sustainable production
Sustainability covers a broad spectrum. Here, MBI looks at raw materials, product composition, energy requirements and service life. Our policy is to produce concrete in the most sustainable way possible with raw materials that ensure sustainability not only now but also in the long term. (More elaboration before referring to the magazine!) Read more in our sustainability magazine.
Factories
Our production plants are located in Kampen, Aalst and Nieuw-Lekkerland. Each factory has a specialism. In Kampen, for instance, we make our broad collection of garden tiles, in Aalst we produce many concrete ties in addition to tiles and stones, and in Nieuw-Lekkerland our product hero GeoCeramica®. One of the most striking features of the new production facility is the emphasis on sustainability and environmental friendliness. (Here little bit about our most modern factory and that we use green energy to produce etc.)
Areas of activity and product solutions
Our mission is to create beautiful, comfortable and sustainable outdoor living environments together with our partners. In doing so, our playing field focuses on all areas of use of outdoor space; working, roads, shopping, living and well-being. This means nothing other than that we like to think along in the design of our living environment. In doing so, we look for the best use of paving and façade solutions in the broad sense of the word. You can come to us for advice in all phases of a project: initiative and concept, design, materialisation, technical preparation and processing advice.
Facade systems and interior walls
MBI produces facing bricks for indoors and outdoors, for dirty, visible and invisible masonry. In many colours, formats and with various textures and profiling. In addition to its extensive range, MBI offers architects and clients the opportunity to design their own facing brick. In short, MBI helps you build beautiful, challenging and functional façades.
Paving materials for public spaces
The street largely determines the atmosphere of our built environment. In addition to aesthetic values, practical requirements are also important. Stones must be able to withstand wind and weather, but also provide safety or handle heavy loads. MBI converts its extensive experience into a wide range of paving stones, tiles, strips and elements that combine atmosphere with functionality and durability.
Complete range of ornamental paving
The garden as a second living room. There is no room there for atmosphere-less square metres. MBI offers attractive solutions in ornamental paving with which the optimum balance between greenery, home and garden can be achieved. Through our national dealer network, we offer a wide choice of other brands in addition to our own stones, tiles and tyres. MBI wants to contribute to an optimal garden experience in which durability and quality are paramount.
Love of concrete in the blood
Since 1945
On 22 February 1945, Mr A.J. (Anton) van der Meijden founded MBI Beton. For the first few years, production ran with 5 employees. The product range consisted mainly of concrete piles and slabs and, of course, the widely used concrete blocks. Soon, facing bricks and also concrete clinkers were added to the product range. MBI grew steadily into a concrete factory of stature and investments in new plants were not shunned either.
Until…
MBI was founded in 1945 by Anton van der Meijden, the father of Lex and Robert van der Meijden. Both sons are very involved in the business and currently serve on the Supervisory Board. For many years, Lex and Robert have been the face of the organisation. In 2006, they handed over responsibility for day-to-day management to Marcel Bettonvil as Managing Director. This marked the start of the next phase for the Brabant family business. On the shop floor, Lex and Robert can still be found regularly. The love for concrete never leaves their blood, as they themselves say.
The name MBI
The name MBI is an abbreviation of ‘Van der Meijden Beton Industrie’. The M of Van der Meijden says it all about MBI's DNA. We are a true family business. Despite the fact that the family is not involved in day-to-day management, all major decisions are made together with the family.
