OMER VANDER GHINSTE BREWERY

In the heart of Bellegem, a remarkable family story has been unfolding since 1892—that of the Omer Vander Ghinste Brewery. What began with a wooden brewing kettle and a horse-drawn cart has grown into a modern, high-tech brewery with international appeal. Five generations of craftsmanship come together in distinctive beers such as OMER. Traditional Blond, Kriek Max, and Tripel LeFort—each with its own story, brewed with a love for both tradition and innovation.

Omer Vander Ghinste: Inspections without downtime, communication with flair

The Challenge Facing the Omer Vander Ghinste Brewery

As an active brewery, operational continuity is essential. Any halt in production has an impact—on scheduling, deliveries, and product quality. Technical inspections are required by law, but they must never become an obstacle.

Our approach

Together with the technical team at Omer Vander Ghinste, we developed a smart inspection schedule that is perfectly aligned with their production cycles. Thanks to the Normec BTV Customer Portal, they can now effortlessly keep track of all inspections.

“The planning and execution of the inspections are always very well prepared so that our production downtime is minimal. They really listen to us as a customer.”

In addition, more complex inspections have been integrated into their comprehensive contract. One point of contact, all inspections under control.

“The customer portal is a very powerful tool; all inspections are consolidated and easy to access. We can turn to Normec BTV for all our technical inspections, including the more difficult ones, so I would definitely recommend them as an inspection partner.”

Result

Today, Omer Vander Ghinste Brewery enjoys peace of mind and saves time. Thanks to our proactive approach, they’re always in compliance with the law, without placing an extra burden on their internal teams.
