Our Values

Integrity – we are fair and we do what we promise.

Persistence – we never quit finding a solution: we see problems as challenges.

Competence – we are good at what we do in our domain.

Make progress which lasts – so everyone involved gets better.

 

What we do

Drix develops its own manufacturing processes, and many times also its own production equipment.

This allows us to develop products for niche markets.

We control the production process from raw materials to finished product.

We invest a large effort in development of new products and technologies.

Our products are manufactured in Belgium.
