Discover our history

Our Group was founded by a Belgian family, the MAIRLOT Family.
The current shareholders, François & Philippe MAIRLOT, are representatives of the third generation.

We have built up our history step by step and, of course, continue to evolve. We are proud to support you with expertise and dedication. Our goal remains to provide you with reliable, effective solutions and to build a lasting partnership with you! Our various acquisitions have allowed us to develop customised solutions to meet everyone’s expectations. At Magetra Group, we write our history together with you, day by day.
