TMI participated in the challenging realization of new bridge in Luttre . This bridge is a 360-ton steel structure whose total length is 125 meters. It was transported by barges from the assembly hall of TMI, located 60 kms from Luttre.
VB Beton collaborated with Tom Herck for his latest art project « Decline » (www.tomherck.com/work-1#/decline).
The 60-ton construction shows a house of cards made of nine concrete play cards and has a scale of thirty five feet high and nineteen and a half feet wide. The construction is literally as big as a house.
E-Capital reinvests, along with Pentahold, in Oh! Green, where it first invested in 2008. E-Capital will hold a 31% equity stake. The objective is to further ensure the roll-out of the Oh! Green concept in Belgium.
Sign & Façade Group acquires 100% of the shares of Armony concept SA, based in Liège, to create a group that will propose a one-stop shop in terms of external but also internal signaling.
E-Capital III has committed its fourth investment by participating in a leveraged buyout of Techno Metal Industrie SPRL and Chaudronneries & Tuyauteries Industrielles SPRL.
These companies are active in three segments of the metal treatment: for TMI, assembly, transport and installation of metal frameworks and ironworks and for CTI, industrial pipings. The plants are located in the neighborhood of Namur.
The founders of TMI and CTI have designed the industrial processes in such a way that it does not require extensive capex since a series of jobs has been subcontracted (metal cutting, galvanization, paint and transport as well as stability studies). However TMI runs in-house a design office for the feasibility and drawing studies.
The CEO of Sign & Facade, Didier Vael, has been interviewed in the context of the Z-Inspiration documentary on Kanaal Z.

It currently operates facilities in Farmsum (The Netherlands) and Bangpoo (Bangkok area, Thailand) and plans to expand to new locations in order to serve existing clients in other locations.
