On September 23, 2025, the Engineering community brought together colleagues for a full-day event focused on façades and building envelopes: the BESIX Skincare Day. Held at Reynaers Aluminium, an international supplier of window profiles and curtain wall systems, the event welcomed participants from across BESIX Group, not only from the Skincare Community but also from other departments and entities.
The programme featured expert presentations, technical discussions, and hands-on workshops. One highlight was the guided tour of Reynaers’ testing laboratory, followed by an immersive experience in Avalon, their Virtual Reality environment. Participants were actively involved throughout the day. From assembling a small aluminium window frame to joining various workshops, the energy and enthusiasm were clear. The format encouraged learning and exchange, with many colleagues noting how much they gained from the experience.
After the sessions, a walking dinner gave everyone a chance to connect informally and continue the conversation.
The event aimed to boost cross-functional learning, spark new ideas and strengthen collaboration around high-performance building envelopes, and achieved this goal. Overall feedback of the day was very positive, with an average recommendation score of 4.56 out of 5.
BESIX Skincare Day was a valuable opportunity to learn, connect, and shape the future of our façades together. Let’s do it again next year!
