Our story

It started with a problem our founder, second-generation Belgian beer man Albert Wauters, could not solve off the shelf.

After more than 25 years in R&D, he wanted a disposable keg that was fully compatible with existing systems, worked with all standard couplers, offered the highest safety level through a re-closable valve, and was 100% recyclable. No such keg existed, so he built it.

The first Dolium keg reached the market in 2013.

Mission

To solve the high cost of serving low-rotation markets with a sustainable one-way keg: export markets, production peaks and new distribution channels.

Vision

To grow the draught dispensing category for beverage companies in a profitable and sustainable way.

Fill it, ship it, pour it, recycle it

Three steps, and none of them is a return trip.

What we solve

Serving low-rotation and export markets where stainless steel kegs is expensive. A stainless steel keg has to come back, be cleaned and refilled. Dolium removes that constraint: ship, pour, recycle.

Global presence

Dolium sells its kegs in more than 50 countries, with a regional head office in the United States and distribution partners worldwide. Looking for a partner in your market? Talk to our team.

Where the name comes from

Dolium is the Latin word for the earthen vessel once used to store and ship wine and food overseas. The idea of moving great beverages over long distances is built into the name.
