For over 50 years, Elneo has been a breath of fresh air in the industry. Based in Awans, Liège and with 5 sites in Belgium, France and Canada, the company employs more than 100 people in three demanding fields: compressors, pneumatics and instruments.
For Elneo, innovation does not mean disruption but rather the ability to integrate, optimise and improve the reliability of the critical installations of major clients such as John Cockerill, Walibi or GSK. “We focus on technical expertise and service. Our approach is comprehensive: advice, installation, maintenance and monitoring. That is the added-value we provide to our clients,” says Jonathan Bouhy, CEO and the third generation of the family to run the business. Elneo’s mission is to offer “solutions that are effective and, above all, sustainable.”
Innovating across the board
In the context of rising geopolitical tensions and reliance on distant supply chains, Bouhy states: “clients are looking for greater proximity, control and security in industrial partnerships.” Our mission is to help each of our clients develop and become autonomous and bring their tools into the world of tomorrow.”
Elneo’s model is equally innovative. With the launch of Elneo Partners in 2024, its employees were able to become shareholders. Around forty have done so already. “It’s my proudest professional achievement. Everyone is involved in Elneo’s vision. It’s a governance system that supports entrepreneurship and enables the launch of new departments based on employee initiatives.”
“Together, we are unstoppable! ”
A quote which neatly sums up a Walloon SME which, with its employees and clients, is able to export its expertise, its capacity for integration and a responsible model of entrepreneurship. More proof that European industrial innovation has a home in Wallonia.
