Talboom Group focuses predominantly on the Flemish part of Belgium and has its headquarters in Puurs. Net sales in 2018 were EUR 12.2 million.
Sweco and Talboom are a perfect match. Geographically and in terms of the business profile, our organizations complement each other. Sweco Belgium has a strong presence in the industrial sector and joining forces with Talboom puts us in a leading position in the attractive pharmaceutical R&D sector.
