EXPANDING OUR FACilities

New location, more capacities. We've moved to the Avantis business park—with an expanded electrical workshop and plenty of space for fresh ideas. Fun fact: Since then, our offices have been spread across two countries, as the German-Dutch border runs right through the building.
