Since its debut in 1975 as part of the Barco Group, BMSvision has evolved into a trusted partner for the discrete manufacturing industry worldwide, for streamlining production, improving efficiency, reducing waste and making smarter, data-driven decisions based on real-time information. From pioneering digital manufacturing in textiles to delivering advanced MES solutions tailored to today’s industrial needs, BMSvision continues to lead the way in smart manufacturing.

“Reaching this fifty-year milestone is more than a celebration of our past – it’s a testament to the partnerships we’ve built, the industries we’ve helped transform, and the people who’ve shaped our journey,” says Jan Bogaert, CEO of BMSvision. “As part of the Vandewiele Group, we remain committed to driving operational efficiency and empowering productivity for decades to come.”

“Vandewiele has been focusing on technical innovation for years,” adds Charles Beauduin, president of the Vandewiele Group. “Continuing to invest in product development and digital transformation is the key to the future.
