Over 70 years of expertise
Louis Luyckx and his wife, Céline, founded Luyckx in 1952.
Along with selling top-quality products, their greatest challenge was to develop an effective after-sales service, because that was the guarantee for establishing long-term relationships with their customers. Today the torch has been passed on to the next generation.
Over 70 years expertise and competence that could only be achieved by holding on to what Luyckx defines as “customer service”. The result of constant innovation and continuous training, but above all the merits of the employees at Luyckx, who lead the way day after day…
Today Luyckx is one of the most important national exclusive distributors of machines for civil engineering, goods handling and agricultural sectors with leading, reliable and innovative brands. Years of close cooperation with manufacturers resulted in the strong market position Luyckx has today.
