Our mission
Enabling communities protect their homes, businesses, and loved ones from the devastating effects of flooding.
About us
For years now, the effects of climate change have been growing more prevalent, causing droughts, fires, torrential storms, and of course, floods, which get more frequent and severe every year. Malis was created in response to these changes, to help communities protect their homes, businesses, and loved ones from the devastating effects of flooding.
Our goal is to provide our customers with the best flood protection on the market, making it effective, convenient, fixture-free, and ready to deploy in minutes. No technicians or third parties needed..
Our story
It all started back in 2015 when our founder Marc Herrijgers happened by a recently flooded area near the Meuse river in Limburg, Belgium. Local firefighters were working double-time to create a barrier by dragging and stacking endless amounts of sandbags in an attempt to keep the water at bay. It was a strenuous, tedious, and inefficient solution that left much room for improvement. There had to be a better way for communities to protect their assets and properties from flood damage.
That’s how the idea to create the Malis flood barrier was born.
By 2021, after years of development, testing, and many iterations, the first Malis Flood barriers were finally being shipped to happy customers, starting in the sunny state of Florida.
The product is the embodiment of our vision here at Malis: To make flood protection effective, affordable, easy, and available to everyone.
Our History
