Last Friday we welcomed our 2,000th employee. The honour went to 21-year-old Ricardo Meyfroidt from Heule. He started last week in WAAK Metal & Assembly. It was a festive occasion with ice cream for all staff. The guests included the mayors of Kuurne and Kortrijk who came to congratulate us.

On 20 June 2019 we received for the 16th time the VOKA [Flanders´ Chamber of Commerce and Industry] Charter of Corporate Sustainability, which offers companies, regardless of their size or sector, the possibility of also implementing corporate sustainability in practical ways within their own organisations. Via a custom-tailored action plan, each company takes concrete initiatives to do business in a more responsible way.

WAAK Conditionering & Logistiek recently commissioned their new building on the corner of Industrielaan and Izegemsestraat in Kuurne. The official opening was held soon thereafter, on Thursday, May 9th, in the presence of many customers, stakeholders and guests.

Tomatoes come in all shapes, scents, colors and tastes. The culinary vegetable is also the big passion of Xavier Fruy, manager of Fruy Catering in Heule. Together with WAAK he grows scrumptious biological tomatoes as well as other vegetables for his dishes in the greenhouses of WAAK Plant Nursery.
