Citribel is a leading producer of citric acid, citrates, mycelium, and other high-value products. Founded in 1919 in Tienen, Citribel began with the production of citric acid using sugar fermentation. Over the decades, our production processes have continuously evolved, becoming more efficient and embracing circular principles. By 1947, efforts to enhance circularity led to the use of sugar molasses, a byproduct of the nearby sugar industry, as our primary raw material. This choice significantly reduced waste and environmental impact while ensuring a steady supply for the production of citric acid, citrates and mycelium.

Today, Citribel’s product portfolio has expanded, with mycelium and other sustainable byproducts contributing to a growing range of innovations.
