More than 80 products sold worldwide. More than 180 active employees in Belgium. More than 35M€ of turnover, 29% of which is generated internationally.

Modern facilities, state-of-the-art equipment that meets the highest standards.

A daily commitment for people and the planet. A sustainable development plan using, for example, renewable energies is put in place and reviewed annually.

The constant development and innovation of new herbal solutions by always meeting 2 essential criteria: quality and safety.

After more than 50 years of existence, we have decided to rejuvenate our logo.

A more modern writing, a stylized leaf to better express our dynamism, our modernity and our ambition for growth.

With 150 employees and a turnover of €30.6 million, our production areas were very tight.

This time, the extension was carried out “inside”, by converting warehouses into production premises.

According to Jean Stéphenne, Chairman of the Jury: “The Entrepreneur of the Year recognizes companies that have achieved spectacular growth and results and distinguished themselves in terms of entrepreneurship, strategy, innovation, openness to the world and perseverance. But one company in particular really impressed the jury with its qualities and ambitions: Tilman. The quality of management, combining production control, research and development and international business development, combined with the ethical values lived in the company, are the main motivations that led the jury to choose Tilman as the Entrepreneur of the Year 2013“.

For Jean-Noël Tilman, receiving this Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2013 was “a great surprise, a great pleasure… Our success is due to two things: our passion and the excellence of the entire company. Making my company grow, seeing it become more and more efficient with more and more motivated employees at my side, that’s a real pleasure. »

With a turnover of €17.5 million, and a workforce of more than 100 employees, the plant had become too small.

The new premises are equipped with tablet and syrup production lines.

The Tilman Laboratory supports the NGO Action Damien, which treats leprosy and tuberculosis patients in Africa and Asia.

Each time a box of Biolys or Eucalygum is sold, Tilman donates €0.05 to the NGO.
Since 2008, more than 350,000€ has already been paid.

The attraction for sustainable development, and the socially responsible attitude, were realities that had been present in the company for years, but in an informal and partly unconscious way.

The Tilman laboratory has become aware of this philosophical priority, formalized, structured and communicated it. It is also an essential strategic choice that sets Tilman apart from most of its competitors.

In the medium term, companies that do not place social and environmental issues high on their agenda will be banned by consumers; they will disappear.

Since our arrival in Baillonville, the turnover has increased from €2.5 million to €8.0 million, and the number of employees from 30 to 75.

Establishment of an R&D department that develops and registers new herbal medicines.

This is a fundamental strategic choice, which allows Tilman to stand out from most of its competitors operating in the field of herbal medicine, whose products are food supplements, much cheaper to develop, but with a much more precarious status in terms of regulation.

Takeover of the assets of SA Fouché (formerly “Boldoflorine laboratories”), a custom tea and herbal tea packer located in Houdan, France.

The result is a fleet of herbal tea packaging machines that, in 2003, will enable Tilman to accept major custom-made infusion manufacturing contracts.
