The power of innovation

At the Willy Naessens Group, human capital is central as the main source of inspiration for new products, services and entrepreneurial initiatives. Our slogan "dream, think, dare, do and persevere" perfectly sums up how our employees actively encourage initiative and realise their ideas. Innovation does not just mean big, sweeping changes. It is also about a critical attitude where we dare to evaluate and improve current ways of working to become more efficient and productive.

The Circle®

At Willy Naessens Industrial Buildings, we are building the future for our great-grandchildren. And that future starts with circular concrete construction. That is why we developed the building blocks of the future. 100 demountable elements that make any industrial building possible at lightning speed. A circular building concept with blocks of concrete. The Circle® is for developers, end investors, users/tenants, but also for architects and consultants, the most efficient way to realise an industrial building project.

Automated high-rise warehouse

The roll-out of a fully automated high-bay warehouse combined with the implementation of a new ERP/WMS system is the first step in further optimising the existing service levels and associated services at our food companies. The expansion of "Skyfall" increases storage capacity from 38,000 to 50,000 crates and increases order picking capacity by 25%. Moreover, the building recently took a major sustainability step with the installation of solar panels. A total of 1,724 panels were installed (3,600 m²).
