About Us Services Products Go Green Used Cooking Oil Collection Contact Us Our history MBP Timeline MBP founded in Scandinavia 1st April 1999 The company was founded as Modern By-Products A/S in Denmark by David Magnussen and Fayrefield Foodtech Scandinavia A/S. A pioneer of the circular economy, MBP focused on the optimal use of waste and residues by developing innovative by-product solutions with an open book approach incorporating full traceability. This approach reflected the emerging demand for traceability, sustainability and animal feed security that would rapidly start to grow across Europe. First shipload of bio-liquids for Scandinavian energy market 1st January 2003 MBP sent the first shipload of bio liquids to a Scandinavian energy customer for replacement of heavy fuel oil. MBP had set up a tank park in the Netherlands for consolidation of waste and residue oils from the food and oleochemical industry and these oils found a new market in Scandinavia where national policies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions at an early stage. First Key Distributor Agreement signed, with market leader in omega-3 industry 1st November 2003 MBP signed its first long term, exclusive by-product distribution agreement with a market leader in the omega-3 concentration industry. This completely new approach, for the Outsourced Management of By-Products (OMBP), drove considerable development and growth throughout MBP, leading to the company becoming the world market leader for omega-3 concentration by-products and fish oil fractions that it is today. Swiss HQ established 1st June 2004 The Swiss company MBP Trading SA, later renamed MBP Solutions Ltd, was founded. Within a couple of years, the Swiss company moved to Neuchatel which became the group’s headquarters. Used Cooking Oil (UCO) business launched 1st October 2005 MBP acquired the Swedish used cooking oil collection company Sveprol AB. Sveprol was one of six UCO collection companies in Sweden. Through synergies with other oil based activities, MBP expanded its market for district heating oil in Sweden. The company then consolidated the UCO industry in Sweden and expanded its UCO collection and processing into Norway and Denmark. MBP expands by-product management into the UK 1st June 2006 In 2006 we opened our office in England with one employee and our first UK OMBP agreement with a large oleochemical manufacturer. Major tank storage facility and factory opens in Norway 1st August 2006 In order to be able to guarantee on-time collection and delivery and to maintain quality the company bought a factory in Greaaker with a 6000 m3 tank storage capacity. This complex has enabled MBP to develop many new services for a range of different industries. Italy office opens 1st September 2009 In 2009 MBP was ready to expand into Italy. A dedicated company and office were established to enable MBP to service local production companies with their by-products and develop a detailed understanding of the Italian business environment.

MBP opens Netherlands office 1st March 2010 Our Dutch office was a critically important move for expanding business locally and regionally based on its central location and the cost effective logistics to and from the Netherlands. First North American OMBP agreement signed 1st May 2011 MBP signed its first OMBP agreement in North America with the region’s leading omega-3 concentrator. This was a major breakthrough in the North American market firmly establishing MBP as the world leader in omega-3 by-products. First Sustainability certification achieved 1st June 2012 With the arrival of the EU Renewable Energy Directive there was finally a trustworthy way of documenting the sustainable status of waste oils and residues when used for biofuel or bioliquid. MBP pioneered this whole area, achieving ISCC certification and, later, certification to the RSB (Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials). ISO 9001 (Quality) & ISO 14001 (Environmental) standards adopted 1st October 2012 With storage and production in several countries and a growing organisation, MBP decided to implement ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards in order to improve management. MBP chose to embrace these management systems and they have since become the core of our organisation and been a key enabler of growth and profitability. Animal feed unit opened in Sweden 1st October 2012 MBP moved into offices near Malmö in Sweden and this marked the start of our specialist animal feed unit, where we now have a dedicated team of 15 people working with the development of animal feed applications. Early growth was in fish oil based products rich in EPA + DHA. Protein powders and brewer’s spent yeast and barley were later added to the portfolio. US office opened reflecting success of the OMBP approach in USA 1st October 2015 MBP establishes MBP Solutions USA LLC and a US office to service US customers even better. MBP granted relevant export and import permissions. MBP’s Outsourced Management of By-Products approach suits the US market where outsourcing solutions are popular. Company changes name to MBP Solutions 1st November 2015 The Swiss company that does the majority of the business changes its name from MBP Trading to MBP Solutions Ltd. The new name better represents MBP’s continuous drive for the best applications and solutions for by-products and waste. Scandinavian by-product focus 1st January 2016 The growth in the group business activities requires more local presence and focus. The responsibility for the Scandinavian business gets split out and a Nordic sales director is appointed. This becomes the start of more local development with suppliers, customers and partners, where a strong local presence is required. Established employee, Helen Sainsbury, appointed as CEO 1st January 2017 Nine years after her start in MBP as a business coordinator, followed by subsequent company roles across a broad range of disciplines, Helen Sainsbury was appointed as CEO. Based in MBP’s UK office in Skipton, Helen and her administrative team have continued to increase efficiencies and professionalise the company, enabling the rest of the top management team to spend more time on business development and growth.
