Eggo Cocinas is a Belgian company specializing in the design, sale and installation of fitted kitchens and custom interior solutions, including wardrobes, storage systems and furniture.[3] The company operates primarily in Belgium, Luxembourg and Spain.[4] It also owns "The Kitchen Company", a business-to-business division serving real-estate developers, housing providers and property professionals.[5]
History
The origins of the company date to 1979, when Belgian entrepreneur Philippe Taminiaux founded Euro Center, a chain of household appliance stores in Belgium.[6]
In 2007, the company reorganized its activities and launched the èggo brand, focusing on fitted kitchens and interior furnishing solutions.[7]
During the following decade, èggo expanded its showroom network across Belgium and entered neighboring markets. In 2014, the company opened its first showroom in Luxembourg. The Spanish subsidiary, èggo Cocinas e Interior, was launched in 2015 as part of the group's international expansion strategy.[8]
In 2016, L'Echo reported on the company's strategy to increase its presence in the professional real-estate market through partnerships with major property developers.[9]
In 2018, èggo acquired My Kitchen Company, a Belgian company specializing in kitchens for residential development projects. Following the acquisition, the business was integrated into the group as "The Kitchen Company", becoming its dedicated professional division.[10][5]
The company entered the Spanish market in 2015 and subsequently expanded its presence through a network of showrooms in several Spanish regions. By the mid-2020s, the company had opened locations in cities including Seville, Leganés, Las Rozas, Sestao and Finestrat.[11][12][13]
In 2021, the company announced a partnership with the Al-Futtaim Group to introduce the èggo concept in selected Middle Eastern markets, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar.[14]
In 2024, the company opened a new headquarters in Namur, Belgium, and announced a multi-year investment programme intended to support growth, innovation and sustainability initiatives.[15] In 2024, Alicia Vicente was appointed Director of Marketing and Product for the company's Spanish operations.[16]
In 2025, èggo announced a partnership with the Italian manufacturer ABK Group to introduce Cooking Surface technology, an integrated induction cooking system built into kitchen worktops.[17]
