Since 1969 We help companies & entrepreneurs to innovate

Our story

Verhaert Masters in Innovation is a pioneering group of product innovation companies. We have roots that go back to 1969 and have designed more than 1.000 products. With a highly educated multidisciplinary staff of about 200 we realize an annual turnover of over 30M€.

We believe innovation is one of the few instruments to create sustaining added value and with that a better world for all of us. Therefore we should master it to the best we can. That’s why it’s our mission to be Masters in Innovation.

We differentiate by ‘concrete ideation’: the ability to combine highly conceptual thinking with profound know-how and a practical attitude. This makes us a reliable, innovative, creative and entrepreneurial partner for our clients.

We realize this by our T-profile, combining multidisciplinary thinking with in-depth discipline know-how. In a world with increasing complexity, nowadays speed of technology and scarcity of resources, this is more and more a challenge, also for our customers.

We manage this with our group structure conceived around Verhaert as integrated product development company with specialist daughter companies in on-site, optical and digital product development.

We market our product development services through 6 brands:

  • Verhaert, integrated product development services.
  • Moebius Consulting, on-site product development services.
  • Beacon, project & innovation management services.
  • Load & Pegus Digital, digital products development services.
  • Lambda-X, high-tech optical & manufacturing services.

 

We deliver our specialist services independently to the market or integrated through Verhaert.

As a group we support our companies with our umbrella brand Masters in Innovation, cross entity expert networks, a joined platform for customer relation management and business monitoring, an active community for professional innovators, and shared facilities.

By doing so we create value for our daughter companies, customers, employees, and others looking for growth and innovation.
