BENEO partners with TCS on major investment project in Oreye, Belgium
BENEO has selected TCS as a trusted partner for the construction of a new industrial facility at its site in Oreye, Belgium. BENEO, a producer of functional ingredients of plant-based and natural origin for human food, animal nutrition, and the pharmaceutical industry, is making significant investments to optimize productivity and modernize its processes. The completed project comprises a total of 220 tonnes of steel.
TCS was responsible for the entire steel structure of the new building, including the installation of essential production equipment such as silos, tanks, and motors. With a total height of 45 meters—including the silos—the structure has become a new and striking landmark on the Oreye production site.
“Although the start-up phase of the project was challenging, we quickly came to appreciate TCS’s technical expertise and solution-oriented approach. Their ability to identify potential issues in advance and translate them into concrete solutions made the difference in delivering the project on time and to the expected quality standards. BENEO particularly valued the close collaboration and the fast response from TCS during execution.”
— Aline Khamis, Project Manager, BENEO Oreye site
Despite some initial challenges, the project progressed smoothly thanks to proactive collaboration and clear communication between both teams. TCS supported BENEO from the earliest project phases with technical advice and expertise, aiming to guarantee a high-quality end result.
One of the key success factors was the ability to anticipate potential challenges already during the quotation phase. Unlike traditional steel contractors, TCS identifies and addresses technical complexities at an early stage, ensuring smooth execution without unpleasant or costly surprises for the client.
“What sets us apart is that we don’t simply build according to the specifications—we actively think along with our customers from the very beginning. For BENEO, we thoroughly analyzed the project’s complexity from the outset. This early involvement enabled us to work more efficiently and deliver a high-quality result.”
— Dirk Teuwen, Business Manager Steelworks, TCS
Open communication played a central role—sometimes intense, but always constructive. This collaborative approach contributed to an accelerated schedule and enabled the smooth delivery of a technically demanding structure.
Moreover, TCS’s in-house engineering department allows the company to further strengthen its turnkey approach, offering customers significant added value from design through to realization.
TCS is proud to support BENEO in its ambition to develop sustainable solutions for the global food industry. Discover their mission at www.beneo.com.
