Meet the Founders

At Luximprint, we thrive on the support of our people. Together, we form a team of flexible young and experienced senior professionals. Without their skills, daily motivation and above all the passion for what they do, we would not be able to make our vision come true!

Our core team exists of a handful of seasoned design and manufacturing professionals, supported by a larger poule of opto-mechanical design engineers, trained and educated to work with our advanced technology. Together, we shape and prototype the best possible solutions for your next design and engineering project.

Whether you are a start-up company, young growth firm or a global industry leader, our team faces your challenges with a fair dose of passion, integrity and enthusiasm, operating in a young yet professional and dynamic work environment. We are an SME company with (still) the spirit of a start-up, allowing for great flexibility, teamwork and short communication lines (also with the various disciplines directly). Additionally, we may rely on students from universities, applied sciences around the globe, carrying out various sub-projects or research.

Are you interested to work with the Luximprint team? We are always open to hear about your skills and motivation, just submit your curriculum vitae for review via our contact page.
