The family business is taken over by Andy Coninx<\/strong> and Dirk De Wachter<\/strong>, who take over the management of the company from Marc and Luc Hegge<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAfter four generations of family management, Marc and Luc Hegge, in consultation with the family, opted for a carefully selected succession. The decision came after the next generation indicated that they did not want to take an active role within Hegge NV. Continuity, stability and the well-being of the employees were central to their search \u2013 values that fit seamlessly with the vision of the new owners.<\/p>\nWith a solid foundation, an experienced team and a well-filled order book, Andy Coninx and Dirk De Wachter are ready to continue and strengthen the success story of Hegge NV. Andy Coninx has been at the helm of Hegge NV for more than 20 years and knows the company through and through. Dirk De Wachter, in turn, brings extensive experience as CEO to various Belgian SMEs. Their ambition? Combining the assets of this traditional company with fresh entrepreneurial energy, and thus continuing to build sustainable and innovative fa\u00e7ade solutions.<\/p>\nThe companies Hegge Toelevering NV<\/strong> and Aluwing NV<\/strong> are not part of this acquisition and remain in the hands of Marc and Luc Hegge. With their trusted teams, they continue to work enthusiastically for a future-oriented growth path.<\/p>\nWith this transfer, the future of Hegge NV is assured \u2013 rooted in tradition, but resolutely looking ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n 2022<\/span><\/div>2022<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Hegge wins “De Fakkel”<\/a><\/h2>2022<\/div>Hegge wins “De Fakkel”<\/h2>“De Fakkel” is awarded annually by VOKA to a family business in the province of Limburg with an exceptional track record. The jury explains its choice as follows: “Through their family charter, a family forum and an advisory board, the company shows a strong example of family governance. Besides healthy financial figures, Hegge also dares to think long term, with an eye for innovation. They proved themselves resistant to various crises, and gradually the fifth generation is also becoming involved in the management of the company. It is proof of a family business that is concerned with continuity, but where the family culture is never lost sight of.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n 2022<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Hegge Toelevering NV obtains ISO 14001 label<\/a><\/h2>2022<\/div>Hegge Toelevering NV obtains ISO 14001 label<\/h2>Hegge Toelevering NV’s attention to the environment has now also been audited by LRQA.

Hamont-Achel, 30 June 2025 \u2013 Hegge NV,<\/strong> an established name in the Belgian fa\u00e7ade construction sector, is writing a new chapter in its rich history. The family business is taken over by Andy Coninx<\/strong> and Dirk De Wachter<\/strong>, who take over the management of the company from Marc and Luc Hegge<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAfter four generations of family management, Marc and Luc Hegge, in consultation with the family, opted for a carefully selected succession. The decision came after the next generation indicated that they did not want to take an active role within Hegge NV. Continuity, stability and the well-being of the employees were central to their search \u2013 values that fit seamlessly with the vision of the new owners.<\/p>\nWith a solid foundation, an experienced team and a well-filled order book, Andy Coninx and Dirk De Wachter are ready to continue and strengthen the success story of Hegge NV. Andy Coninx has been at the helm of Hegge NV for more than 20 years and knows the company through and through. Dirk De Wachter, in turn, brings extensive experience as CEO to various Belgian SMEs. Their ambition? Combining the assets of this traditional company with fresh entrepreneurial energy, and thus continuing to build sustainable and innovative fa\u00e7ade solutions.<\/p>\nThe companies Hegge Toelevering NV<\/strong> and Aluwing NV<\/strong> are not part of this acquisition and remain in the hands of Marc and Luc Hegge. With their trusted teams, they continue to work enthusiastically for a future-oriented growth path.<\/p>\nWith this transfer, the future of Hegge NV is assured \u2013 rooted in tradition, but resolutely looking ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n 2022<\/span><\/div>2022<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Hegge wins “De Fakkel”<\/a><\/h2>2022<\/div>Hegge wins “De Fakkel”<\/h2>“De Fakkel” is awarded annually by VOKA to a family business in the province of Limburg with an exceptional track record. The jury explains its choice as follows: “Through their family charter, a family forum and an advisory board, the company shows a strong example of family governance. Besides healthy financial figures, Hegge also dares to think long term, with an eye for innovation. They proved themselves resistant to various crises, and gradually the fifth generation is also becoming involved in the management of the company. It is proof of a family business that is concerned with continuity, but where the family culture is never lost sight of.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n 2022<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Hegge Toelevering NV obtains ISO 14001 label<\/a><\/h2>2022<\/div>Hegge Toelevering NV obtains ISO 14001 label<\/h2>Hegge Toelevering NV’s attention to the environment has now also been audited by LRQA.

After four generations of family management, Marc and Luc Hegge, in consultation with the family, opted for a carefully selected succession. The decision came after the next generation indicated that they did not want to take an active role within Hegge NV. Continuity, stability and the well-being of the employees were central to their search \u2013 values that fit seamlessly with the vision of the new owners.<\/p>\n
With a solid foundation, an experienced team and a well-filled order book, Andy Coninx and Dirk De Wachter are ready to continue and strengthen the success story of Hegge NV. Andy Coninx has been at the helm of Hegge NV for more than 20 years and knows the company through and through. Dirk De Wachter, in turn, brings extensive experience as CEO to various Belgian SMEs. Their ambition? Combining the assets of this traditional company with fresh entrepreneurial energy, and thus continuing to build sustainable and innovative fa\u00e7ade solutions.<\/p>\n
The companies Hegge Toelevering NV<\/strong> and Aluwing NV<\/strong> are not part of this acquisition and remain in the hands of Marc and Luc Hegge. With their trusted teams, they continue to work enthusiastically for a future-oriented growth path.<\/p>\nWith this transfer, the future of Hegge NV is assured \u2013 rooted in tradition, but resolutely looking ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n 2022<\/span><\/div>2022<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Hegge wins “De Fakkel”<\/a><\/h2>2022<\/div>Hegge wins “De Fakkel”<\/h2>“De Fakkel” is awarded annually by VOKA to a family business in the province of Limburg with an exceptional track record. The jury explains its choice as follows: “Through their family charter, a family forum and an advisory board, the company shows a strong example of family governance. Besides healthy financial figures, Hegge also dares to think long term, with an eye for innovation. They proved themselves resistant to various crises, and gradually the fifth generation is also becoming involved in the management of the company. It is proof of a family business that is concerned with continuity, but where the family culture is never lost sight of.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n 2022<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Hegge Toelevering NV obtains ISO 14001 label<\/a><\/h2>2022<\/div>Hegge Toelevering NV obtains ISO 14001 label<\/h2>Hegge Toelevering NV’s attention to the environment has now also been audited by LRQA.

The theme of the party was talent.

With this transfer, the future of Hegge NV is assured \u2013 rooted in tradition, but resolutely looking ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n
“De Fakkel” is awarded annually by VOKA to a family business in the province of Limburg with an exceptional track record. The jury explains its choice as follows: “Through their family charter, a family forum and an advisory board, the company shows a strong example of family governance. Besides healthy financial figures, Hegge also dares to think long term, with an eye for innovation. They proved themselves resistant to various crises, and gradually the fifth generation is also becoming involved in the management of the company. It is proof of a family business that is concerned with continuity, but where the family culture is never lost sight of.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n
Hegge Toelevering NV’s attention to the environment has now also been audited by LRQA. They found that our environmental management system meets the ISO 14001 standard. This standard is a management system for evaluating, improving and reporting on environmental performance and monitoring compliance with environmental legislation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n
Soltech produces and develops customised solar panels that can be incorporated in roof tiles, canopies, fa\u00e7ade walls, noise barriers, solar modules in vehicles and much more. Together with OINO, AGC, Nuhma, LRM and Quanteus, Hegge co-invested in this relaunch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n
On Friday 26 October 2018, Hegge celebrated its 125th anniversary together with customers, suppliers and other relations. Saturday 27 October 2018 in the afternoon, several proud employees showed what goes on in the buildings, both in Bosstraat and on Military Dike. All employees were invited, along with their families, for an extended company visit. In the evening, a big party was organised for all employees with their partners and the Hegge family. The theme of the party was talent. Several employees therefore enjoyed showing and hearing their musical talents.<\/p>\n

The latest techniques were employed to improve quality and increase productivity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- timeline content --><\/div>\r\n\r\n <!-- .timeline-post-end --><div data-cls=\"sc-nv-design-7 white-timeline\" class=\"timeline-year scrollable-section design-7-year\" data-section-title=\"1999\" id=\"year-1999\"><span class=\"ctl-timeline-date\">1999<\/span><\/div><!-- .timeline-post-start--><div data-alternate=\"15\" id=\"story-1194\" class=\"timeline-post odd light-grey-post icons_no post-1194 story-cat-36 design-7-meta\"><div data-aos=\"flip-left\" class=\"timeline-meta\"><div class=\"meta-details\">1999<\/div><\/div><div data-aos=\"flip-left\" class=\"timeline-icon icon-dot-full design-7-dot\"><div class=\"timeline-bar\"><\/div><\/div><div data-aos=\"flip-left\" class=\"timeline-content clearfix odd full design-7-content \"><h2 class=\"content-title\"><a ref=\"prettyPhoto\" href=\"#ctl-1194\">Marc and Luc Hegge take over the torch<\/a><\/h2><div id=\"ctl-1194\" class=\"ctl_hide\"><div class=\"ctl-popup-content\"><div class=\"popup-posted-date\">1999<\/div><h2 class=\"popup-content-title\">Marc and Luc Hegge take over the torch<\/h2><div class=\"ctl_info event-description full\"><p>From 01 October 1999, Marc and Luc, two of Gerard’s sons, took over the torch through their investment company Hegge Invest NV.

These buildings were inaugurated in December 1989 during the annual staff party in the presence of the staff, various prominent figures, customers and suppliers. Around that time, Hegge BVBA was transformed into Hegge NV.
