Remia originated in October 1925, when Arie de Rooij began to produce margarine and butter in his Amersfoort-based garage and basement. Later, he started up a mixing plant in which margarine with butter was mixed. De Rooij's Electrical Melangeer Installation Amersfoort, abbreviated Remia was a fact. Remia then grew rapidly, and in 1951, the company moved to larger premises in Den Dolder. In 1960 a modern sauce factory was opened. Since then, the company is best known for its range of sauces.
