ENGEL has opened a new sales and service office with its own training centre in Belgium to boost its customer proximity.
The new office is located in Oostakker near Ghent and it is part of ENGEL Benelux in Houten, the Netherlands, the base from which ENGEL previously managed its sales and service activities in Belgium.

The new location is managed by David Deliever (Sales) and Jurgen de Maesschalk (Service).
"We have shortened the decision-making paths for our customers in Belgium and created the opportunity to hold project meetings, seminars and training sessions locally in a very efficient way and with little travel overhead", as Arthur van Dijk, the Managing Director of ENGEL Benelux emphasizes.
"The travel restrictions caused by the Corona pandemic have once again shown how important a local presence is".
The company believes Belgium is a particularly innovative and technologically demanding market.
In addition, ENGEL Benelux supports local research projects and cooperates with industry and university partners in the fields of lightweight composites and hybrid parts.
