XLG Technics Fleurus

A rare glimpse into the technical workshop in Fleurus

‍

‍

At XLG, industrial maintenance is about more than just contractual obligations. It is built day by day, on the shop floor, on the equipment, in the hands of technicians trained to work in environments where precision is non-negotiable. That’s what Kevin Convens, head of the XLG Technics division in Fleurus, chose to showcase in this video: a real behind-the-scenes look at a technical site in full operation.

In less than 80 seconds, the camera takes us where few service providers invite their customers: the machine shop, the workstations, and the corrective and preventive maintenance equipment. No staging, no corporate rhetoric: just technicians at work, alongside the machines they use.

Fleurus, a workshop serving manufacturers in Wallonia and beyond

The Fleurus facility is one of the XLG Group’s operational bases in Hainaut. This is where the most demanding technical projects take shape: machining and grinding of custom parts, winding and overhaul of electric motors, welding metal fabrication. Precision expertise, all under one roof, available to manufacturers in Belgium, northern France, and Luxembourg.

In industries where an unplanned production shutdown costs thousands of euros per hour, having a responsive workshop capable of manufacturing or overhauling a critical part within a controlled timeframe represents a direct operational advantage. This is the position that XLG Technics has embodied at this site since its early years of operation in Wallonia.

Kevin Convens and the Technics Teams: A Culture Rooted in the Field

What stands out in the video, beyond the equipment, is the attitude. Kevin Convens embodies a corporate culture where on-site commitment comes before empty rhetoric. Over its 40-year history, XLG has built its expertise project by project, working alongside clients such as Safran, Alstom, Aperam, and NLMK, in industrial environments where there is zero margin for error.

This transfer of expertise from one technician to another, and from one service call to the next, is what assures a maintenance manager or technical director that their service provider truly understands the challenges of a site operating around the clock.

What the Technics Division Covers: From the Workshop to the Field

XLG Technics offers two complementary service categories, designed to cover the entire industrial maintenance cycle.

The Technical Workshop: Manufacturing, Overhaul, and Grinding

The Fleurus workshop handlesmachining, welding, metal fabrication, cylindrical and surface grinding of parts, as well as the rewinding and overhaul of electric motors. It addresses both recurring needs—such as replacement parts and preventive maintenance of mechanical components—and emergencies, such as the failure of a critical part or damage to production equipment.

On-site industrial maintenance: electromechanical work, welding, piping

In the field, XLG Technics teams provide services in electromechanics, industrial mechanics, welding, piping, and overhead crane maintenance. These technicians are able to integrate into a client’s team, adhere to the safety protocols specific to large-account environments, and ensure service continuity even under the most challenging conditions.

The two components work in direct synergy: what is diagnosed on-site can be manufactured or repaired in the workshop, without any interruption in service or the need to deal with multiple points of contact. This is one of the structural advantages of a multi-skilled group like XLG.

Opening the Doors to the Workshop: An Act of B2B Transparency

The decision to publish this type of content is not insignificant. In the B2B industrial maintenance and facility management sector, where trust is built on evidence rather than promises, showcasing our workshops, teams, and work methods sends a strong message. In practical terms, this means: our teams are qualified, our facilities are designed to meet your requirements, and we have nothing to hide about how we work.

For a facility manager or maintenance manager evaluating several industrial maintenance service providers in Belgium or Wallonia, this transparency reinforces what client references and 40 years of hands-on experience already demonstrate: XLG is a long-term partner, not just another interchangeable subcontractor.

This video is also part of the group’s new strategic direction, announced in April 2026: a goal of doubling in size within five years, driven by a renewed leadership team and a stronger focus on its three business units: Technics, Soft Facility, and Hard Facility.
