DECUBE: A Growth-Oriented Investment Policy
Since 2004, the DECUBE Group has operated through eight subsidiaries in technical and industrial fields, including engineering, assembly, and industrial painting. Since its creation, this dynamic group has achieved significant growth and notable accomplishments, including work on the Atomium and the Eiffel Tower. The DECUBE Group employs over 400 people and has consolidated sales totaling €50 million.
“The Decube Group certainly would not have experienced the growth it has without IMBC’s support. Thanks to IMBC’s involvement, the Group has been able to leverage its relationships with other organizations,” Damien de Dorlodot, Director.
DECUBE, a holding company established in 2004, acquired Monnaie, a company that specializes in surface treatment and industrial painting, from the Fabricom Group. IMBC provided financial backing for this share buyout alongside a banking institution.
This first acquisition marked the beginning of DECUBE’s expansion through the purchase of other companies, always with support from IMBC. These acquisitions involved long and sometimes delicate processes that required sharing expertise in close collaboration, complete confidentiality, and a climate of mutual trust.
An Ever-Growing Business
Since then, DECUBE has invested almost every year. This has included both external growth, such as the acquisitions of Belgium Coatings and Ets Belleflamme, and internal growth, including investments in capital goods, the construction of a 4,000-square-meter building, and the implementation of an ambitious environmental integration project, installing almost 2,000 square meters of solar panels at its Monnaie site, making DECUBE the first company in Wallonia to generate 40% of its own energy. The Group was able to count on the financial support of IMBC every step of the way.
Passing on the Torch
In 2024, Damien de Dorlodot sold the DECUBE Group to a management team led by CEO Alexandre Plissart. This management buyout will undoubtedly preserve the local roots of this center of excellence and innovation.
“Thanks to IMBC’s technical expertise and kindness, we received the technical, financial, and human support we needed to make the takeover a reality,” Alexandre Plissart, Managing Director.
