Maarten Durville, Managing Director: “As a supplier in the aeroplane industry, we were severely impacted by the pandemic and the lockdown. Just when we had trained our team to Aerospace level, we had to shut down. I am very proud that we can leave this chapter behind us and ship the first product. We can look forward again: the lockdown was just a delay in our growth plan, we have added 50 employees in the last months and are on track to grow to 300 next year.”
