Market driven engineering

Customers have repeatedly expressed the need for sorters with “high performance” and “superior efficiency”, combined with user-friendliness and reliability. Anticipating this growing need in the market, the company developed an entire new generation of sorting machines, based on extensive field experience and using the latest technological developments in optics, electronics and mechanics. Our R&D department is continuously updating and improving existing applications to get the most benefit for clients. Before introduction, all new designs are thoroughly tested in a real industrial environment.

The philosophy of technological innovation and search for new markets remains a core idea. The company has grown to become “the” supplier of high-tech sorting equipment, with a very strong brand name and a very good reputation worldwide. The name “BEST” is understood all over the world, and is a synonym for the ambition of the company. On top of that, BEST is proud of its “roots” and presents itself primarily as a “BELGIAN HIGH-TECH” company: B(elgian) E(lectronic) S(orting) T(echnology). Many big international companies have already shown their appreciation for the modern and efficient technology and the ambitious company strategy by installing the BEST sorters.
