We are proud to announce that SBE has again been selected for the Trends Gazelles East Flanders 2023 in the “major companies” category.
Every year, and this year for the 22nd time, the financial-economic magazine Trends presents an award to the fastest growing companies in Flanders, based on growth in terms of added value, personnel and cash flow.
According to Trends, the nominees, who are called Gazelles, are competitive companies that have a positive impact on the business climate in their region. “This makes them an integral part of the economic landscape in Flanders. They are powerhouses of innovation and job creation,” according to the editors of Trends.
This nomination would not have been possible without our #expertsatplay, customers, partners and other stakeholders. So, thank you for that!
We look forward to announcing the winners in East Flanders on 22/03/2023 and nationally on 3/05/2023.

Breaking the age barrier: how SBE turns experience into a competitive advantage
22/08/2025At 70 years old, Lubov Izbash comes to the office every morning full of enthusiasm. The architect, trained in both Russia and Belgium and having worked at engineering firm SBE for nearly two decades, embodies a ready-made solution to Belgium’s staff shortage. “Architecture is my work and my passion,” Lubov explains, her eyes lighting up as she talks about her latest projects. “I still feel young here every day, even at 70. Some even consider me a real workaholic!” she laughs. Her story and energy challenge every assumption about older employees in today’s fast-paced economy.
