Our Roots

Diarkis, established in 2024 by the Ravago Group shareholder families, is a private investment venture for existing and new investments. The roots trace back to the entrepreneurial beginnings of the Ravago Group in 1961. What started as a modest recycling venture in Raf Van Gorp’s Belgian garage has grown into a global leader in polymers, chemicals & life ingredients, and building materials, employing over 10,000 people worldwide and serving over 53,000 customers across more than 65 countries. With an entrepreneurial track record of over 60 years, Ravago offers valuable business expertise and insights applied to partnerships and investments.

Diversification has always been crucial for growth and stability, alongside Ravago Group as a core investment. Diarkis is born out of this philosophy, representing a consolidation of diverse past investments and serving new investments, crafted to leave a lasting impact. Our ambition is steadfast, strengthened by the solid foundation of experience that the past provides. While Ravago Group remains a solid anchor, new partnerships and investments are continuously pursued to broaden our portfolio, explore new opportunities, and create meaningful value for the future. It implements a sustainably oriented investment strategy with the aim of long-term value creation and diversification.
