Business
Fountain S.A. (FOU.BR) specializes in the production and marketing of soluble powders for hot and cold beverage dispensing machines, as well as the sale, rental, and provision of related vending equipment primarily to small and medium-sized businesses in Europe. The company offers coffee, tea, chocolates, bouillons, soups, and other freeze-dried or grain-based products packaged in cartridges and capsules; cartridge machines, automatic machines, capsule machines, coffee machines, water fountains, and accessories; and snacks distributed through a network of over 200 exclusive concession-holders and independent distributors. Operations span France (63% of net sales), Belgium (30.5%), Denmark (3.8%), the Netherlands, and other European countries, with subsidiaries and facilities in locations including Braine-l'Alleud and Lembeke in Belgium, Gondecourt and Chaponnay in France, and Hvidovre in Denmark. Founded in 1972 and headquartered at Avenue de l'Artisanat 17 in Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium, Fountain S.A. employs approximately 167 people and focuses on three core pillars: a range of professional coffee and beverage machines, a wide selection of instant hot beverages, and comprehensive after-sales service and maintenance. In recent years, the company has evolved its product offerings toward a broader tabletop segment for professional customers, implemented a sustainability action plan ahead of its 50th anniversary in 2022, and reported earnings for the half-year ended June 30, 2025, reflecting ongoing operational stability amid a focus on sustainable development and service excellence.
