New facility connects visitors to advanced metalworking technology, experts, education
LVD Company nv has announced the opening of its new “Experience Center” (XP Center) at the company’s corporate headquarters in Gullegem, Belgium. The ultra-modern 2,500 square metre facility is designed to help advance sheet metalworking by connecting visitors to technology, solutions and expertise in an innovative environment that promotes learning and collaboration.
The XP Center is a complete renovation and significant expansion of LVD’s demonstration facility, transformed to provide the ultimate guest experience. Visitors are invited to bring their sheet metalworking challenges, discover possibilities for their applications of today and the future, train on the latest products and cultivate relationships with LVD experts. They will experience next-generation equipment and processes from all LVD product lines, automation solutions, touch screen control technology, software and a flexible, Industry 4.0-ready connected facility that illustrates what’s possible in an integrated Smart Factory.
“The XP Center is more than a product showroom and training facility,” says Carl Dewulf, president and managing director of LVD Company nv. “We’ve created an 
inviting space for visitors to experience sheet metalworking technology and the LVD brand in new ways. It’s about discovering solutions, making connections, providing the space to nurture partnerships and ideas that will advance the industry.”
Designed by the Belgian architectural firm Naert bvba in partnership with interior architect Justine Van Strydonck, LVD’s XP Center makes the most of natural light through an abundance of windows and glass doors, welcoming guests with its light and space. In its contemporary setting, visitors can explore LVD’s heritage, take in presentations and training sessions in a stadium-style theatre, share ideas in “creative corners,” or relax in the lounge or outdoor terrace.
The grand opening of the XP Center is planned for mid-April. To schedule a visit to the Center, contact marketing@lvd.be
