Our company Religion Regina started in 2003, when the main activity was the distribution of candles under agency for a Belgian manufacturer. However, thanks to my many years of experience and carefully collected contacts, we were able to expand the product range step by step. Good, honest service and a long-term vision towards customers ensured that we found a wide market in the Benelux and Germany.

At the end of 2004 we crossed paths with Gaby and Alain de Neckère, then managers of the company Un message de Vie. This house was known for its collections of greeting cards, high-quality ceramic crosses, dice, etc.
It soon became clear that the de Neckere family shared the same commercial vision as myself and in August 2005 an official collaboration was established through the acquisition of Un Message de Vie by Religie Regina. As a result of this takeover, the company obtained a wider range of products and was able to more than double the sales market by expanding to France and Switzerland.
In 2006 the name and status of the company changed to Un message de Vie / Religie Regina bvba.


Since then, the company has only seen growth in terms of supply, employees and turnover! I therefore look back with some pride on what I have been able to achieve together with my employees during these 17 years.

Together with you, loyal customers and suppliers, and my colleagues, I hope to continue to build on our service and long-term vision that we always guarantee together for years to come.

Un Message de Vie / Religie Regina bvba, where Religious Art and service become one!
