About us
From Joure we serve different customers every day at home and abroad. Read below about how we started, how the company has evolved and how we continue.
The name Sellacq is derived from the place names Sellingen (in the province of Groningen) and the French village of Lacquy. These were the hometown and favorite holiday destination of the founder. The company was founded in 1993, initially starting as a wholesaler supplying candle-making materials.
In 1999, the company was acquired by Jan and Zwanet Jonkman, and it subsequently moved to Langweer. From there, it expanded to become a comprehensive service provider for various markets. Today, Jan and his eldest son, Leon, form the company's management, working together with a dedicated team that includes Fokje, Wendy, Alie, Francine, Giedo, Lars, Martin and Tabo.
Because we place high importance on contributing to the guidance and training of students, we are recognized as an accredited training company, typically hosting one or more interns who work in our company with compensation.
In the future, we will, of course, continue to focus on the candle-making market. We follow new developments, trends, and ideas closely, showcasing them in our Blogs and/or News Flashes. Our product range and services are customized, and it is our mission to grow alongside our clients as an organization. We are committed to continual development in this area. Additionally, we diversify our activities with various innovative projects, supporting the growth and sustainability of our company in the long term.
