History
The company Lotus was founded in Lembeke in 1932 by the brothers Jan, Emiel and Henri Boone. When the company was founded, the brothers made cookies for breakfast and also speculoos for St Nicholas' Day; they later specialised in speculoos. Karel Boone, the son of founder Jan Boone, was the CEO of Lotus for 32 years, and then the president of the company for 20 years (1966–2012). In 2012, his brother Mathieu took over.[2]
