All the coordination is carried out in Belgium by your trusted dedicated team who already know your business inside out.
Even abroad, we literally and figuratively speak your language. As a customer, you never feel you have to build a new relationship with our people abroad. It's just the same relationship we already have with you here, which we simply continue there. Whether you walk into our office in Hong Kong or your local office at home in Belgium, you don't have to explain again who you are, what you do, what you need. The people who speak to you already know you.
