History

Monde Selection is unique. Each product is judged individually and not compared to others in its category.

1961

A new Standard of Excellence

On 1 January 1961 there appears on the Register of Commerce of Brussels a commercial establishment under the name «Europe-Selection» whose goals are the «selection by chemical and bacteriological analysis, organoleptic examination and presentation of manufactured or not food, textile, metallurgical, steel-manufacturing and other goods».

1971

Going Worldwide

Only 10 years of age and already a reference.
The number of participating countries in the World Quality Selections soars from 28 to 58 h

1980

Passing of the torch

Twenty years after its creation, Monde Selection has solidified its credibility and found in Georges de Bruyn a new leader. The new president takes on a vice-president, Mr Pierre van Lier, a Permanent Organising Committee composed of different key figures, engineers, doctors of science and university professors, while continuing to call upon laboratories, institutes, trial or analysis stations in the organising country.
By 1981, more than 1,300 companies and 6,800 products have called upon the services of Monde Selection since its foundation.

1983

An improvement of Quality and a new Medal

Quality moreover evolves, so much so that in 1983 a fourth prize is introduced, superior to all the others, the “Gold Medal with Palms”. Such an award must score 90% of the votes, the gold medal 80% of points, the silver 70%, and the bronze 60%.

The 90's

The awakening of China

At the end of the 1980s, Monde Selection extends a little more into Asia. Japan has already been a privileged partner since the very beginning of the Institute. The newcomer is none
other one than the People’s Republic of China, which gradually opens up to international trade. It’s above all the producers of beer, wine and alcohol who will submit their products to
the evaluations of the Institute, which registers in 1993 no less than 204 Chinese products.

The 2000's

The Golden Decade

The turn of the millennium commences with a series of major challenges which concern both man, his well-being and his environment.
The different food crises created in consumers an awareness of quality control of consumer goods, thus favouring the emergence of ever more labels and driving the producer to improve
production methods and, generally, quality.

2025

Time for changes

Always willing to emphasize Quality, a brand new label design is born. Products that satisfy the expert’s expectations and standards are highlighted with a stamp of Quality that stand out from the shelves.
