For the metalbranche, we go to reschoolings on a regular base at certified institutes in foundrytechnics, so we can offer our customers an even better service: development of analyses on customers demand, solving problems in casting and melting, etc.

Nichetechnics: the interaction between our powerteam and the university of Gent or specialized instances got us to a strong knowledge in the protection of doors, total control of humidity, solving extreme situations … We are always one step ahead.
