Every new breakthrough begins as a design. From that design follows a prototype—a prototype that is in turn evaluated and improved and finally a product roles out of the assembly lines. Central to this process is the EMEA Development Centre (EDC), where the departments perform at a global level. The head-quarters of EDC is located in Ostend and Ghent (Belgium), with satellites in Güglingen (Germany), Plzen (Czech Republic) and Istanbul (Turkey).
