What are we aiming for?

BWA (which stands for Beschutte Werkplaats Aarschot [Aarschot Sheltered Workshop]) is a subdivision of the non-profit Leuven Sheltered Workshops (vzw Beschutte Werkplaatsen Leuven). BWA has been in existence since 1969. The company has over 630 employees, including 480 people with a workdisability.

At present, BWA has three establishments in Aarschot (Flemish Brabant) and Heist-op-den-Berg (Antwerp Province). The total working area is 38,316 m².

BWA’s core activities include vacuum forming (or thermoforming) and packaging (also called contract packing or co-packing). We are one of the leading vacuum forming companies and the largest packer in the Benelux.
