The move to manufacturing our own fence panels in 2010 was a natural progression. Today, we operate with a production capacity of approximately 25 kilometers of fence panels per day, from wire rod to fully powder-coated panels — all in one factory.

Situated on a 70,000 m² site, with over 35,000 m² of built-up facilities, we maintain substantial stock levels to ensure short lead times and reliable delivery to our B2B customers across Europe.

In February 2022, BALAK was acquired by Buysse & Partners, in partnership with the existing management team. This strategic step ensures continuity, while also providing the strength and vision to support further growth and innovation.
