Chief executive Kristof Coudenys, said: "Today we work from two locations in Waregem and different buildings. Centralising activities will enhance cooperation between our employees and the efficiency of our operations. The round shape of the offices with an inner glass ring also ensures maximum visual contact. We also invest a lot in energy saving technologies and use geothermal energy for heating and cooling.”
