Sustainable development goals

These 17 sustainable development goals, linked to 169 targets, form the basis of our sustainability strategy. These goals, which are one and indivisible, reflect the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and ecological dimensions. The goals can be subdivided into five main themes: humankind, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership.

Engineered to last

Our mission is imagineering: Engineering with limitless imagination, yet always keeping the idea of reusability and ecology in mind. Back in the days, most tradeshow exhibits were made from wood, good for one single use and easy to throw away after the show. To break this polluting cycle, we’ve designed a modular exhibit building system made from aluminum, that can be endlessly reused. Same goes for all our products, from decorative panels and furnishings to modular LED tiles and all the way to our packaging solutions. We aim to improve.

Endlessly recyclable

We opt for a 100% reusable end product and for sustainable materials. Did you know aluminum is the most commonly found metal on our planet? It’s strong, yet light. It has a long life cycle and is fully renewable. This results in greener and smarter solutions for everyone. The recycling process only requires about 5% of the energy compared to the production of primary aluminum. We can say that at least 75% of our frames are produced from recycled aluminum. Also in our finishing process, we aim for smart choices. The decorative finish (anodization) does not influence the recycling process. Even more, it ensures a maintenance-friendly material because the natural separation of grease (inherent to aluminum) is stopped. No greasy fingers, so lesser use of soap and water.

Impressive fact: 75% of all the aluminum ever produced is still in use.

The bigger picture

To us, building stands the innovative way means finding balance between elegance, efficiency, profitability and sustainability. That is why, next to using less material, our sustainable strategy also translates to smart designs. This enables us to use smaller storage spaces, and means fewer trucks are needed to wheel our goods from A to B. Thanks to our two plants - one in Deinze (BE) and the other in Atlanta (USA) – and a depot in Las Vegas (USA), we avoid transport between production plants and add worldwide transport and service to our list of assets.
