Hendrik Klerkx founded the company 'Limburgse Montage & Constructie’ [Limburg Installations and Construction] in the basement of his home in Opglabbeek. In 1978, the company moved to its current location on the industrial site in Opglabbeek. The change was spectacular: from 1,000 to 4,000 m² in surface space, from 5 to 35 employees and a turnover comprising BEF 130 million (EUR 3.25 million) in 1990.
