In the 70’s my father and also founder of Carfil Quality, Gustaaf Huybrechts, was introduced to Dr. Paul Janssen, founder of Janssen Pharmaceutica by his friend Marcel Borgers. Borgers, who he already knew from his childhood and youth association “chiro”, was the right hand of Dr. Janssen in the beginning of Janssen Pharmaceutica on their site in Beerse.
Due to the experience Huybrechts had in manufacturing and producing diets for animals (already second generation), the change to manufacturing diets with special demands for Lifescience animals came easily.
His original values and philosophy are still applied at Carfil Quality after 40 years :
Even after all these years my father and Marcel Borgers remain good friends.
