Luc Moeyersons Lives On Commuting And Computing

Luc Moeyersons, EVERLAM’S Technical Programmes Manager, is a man of passions.

A chemist by profession, Luc joined the PVB business in 1984. Initially in charge of DuPont’s technical laboratory in Switzerland, he was subsequently given the responsibility to start a brand new laboratory in his homeland Belgium. Building on this experience, he joined the sales team as technical expert. Since then, he has spent 30 years supporting customers around the world, introducing products and processes and helping them solve complex technical challenges. Through understanding customer processing issues and finding better solutions together with them, he has become one of the highly recognized experts in the field of PVB and glass lamination.

colourful-fish-newsletter-june-2016Solving technical issues is in Luc’s DNA, even when enjoying his hobby, which is raising a type of tropical fish called “Apistogramma”.

Whereas anyone would simply enjoy the beauty of the brightly colourful fish gliding in their tank, Luc enjoys the technical challenge behind it. This type of fish is highly sensitive to the quality of water it swims in and as a consequence, special care must be provided. To ensure that his 54 tanks were supplied with water of consistent quality, he designed a complex water system that connected all the tanks to a specially treated water supply.

 

luc-1.png“I love being confronted with technical challenges and working out solutions. Whatever I do, I apply the same level of demanding requirement. The strong relationships I have built with customers over time have been based on mutual trust and partnership. Customers value our understanding of how they use EVERLAM™ PVB interlayer and of their production processes as well as our ability to collaborate with them to grow their business – Luc Moeyersons, Technical Programs Manager, EVERLAM”
