The Miele Experience Centers are a great success abroad. And that is not surprising. Being able to discover for yourself how kitchen appliances can make your life easier makes your choice considerably easier. The intention is therefore that, after Antwerp and Hasselt, more Miele Experience Centers will be opened in other cities. After all, a strong presence in the city centre is the best way to reach people. These small shop concepts are also super accessible. Everyone can walk in and, with the aid of digital tools such as iPads for example, effortlessly find their way to the Miele appliances that are right for them.
With the opening of the Miele Experience Centers, Miele is taking yet another step in its progressive information and sales strategy. In Belgium, Miele already has two large Experience Centers: one on the Avenue Louise in the heart of Brussels and one in Mollem. In these unique surroundings, you can see, feel and taste how the sustainable high-tech household appliances make life easier. You can also go there for many workshops and events and, of course, for customised product advice.
The main objective of the Miele Experience Centers is to introduce people to the Miele experience. For the sale of appliances, electrical shops and of course the Miele Centers remain of great importance. The staff at these mono-brand shops have a passion for the brand and are true Miele experts who offer a unique service.
Anyone wishing to order their Miele appliance online can do so at the Miele webshop or at the many webshops of its partners. Miele is currently testing a super fast online delivery service. In concrete terms, this means that you can order an appliance online and have it delivered to your home in principle two hours later. This is particularly useful if your washing machine or dishwasher suddenly stops working.
The aspect of sustainability is of great importance to Miele. All Miele products are made to last 20 years and are manufactured with a large amount of reusable materials. Since two years you can also visit the Miele online outlet. Products that leave the range or returns with minor damage are given a second life there.
When you hear Miele, you often immediately think of washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers and hoovers, and perhaps not immediately of kitchen appliances. This is precisely why there is always an active kitchen in the Experience Centres, where culinary workshops are organised and the numerous advantages of the Miele ovens, hobs and other kitchen appliances are demonstrated. For one thing is certain: the current economic situation has made consumers a little more cautious, but the interest in a kitchen that fully meets personal expectations continues to rise. Combi-steam ovens for healthier cooking and fridges with zero degree zones for storing fish or meat are becoming increasingly popular.

CLEAN POWER FOR TRANSPORT
Om de klimaatdoelstellingen te halen, moeten we de mobiliteit vergroenen. Het Departement Mobiliteit & Openbare Werken heeft daarbij niet alleen aandacht voor de vergroening van de huidige mobiliteitsoplossingen, maar ook voor de verschuiving naar milieuvriendelijkere modi. Zo focust het actieplan Clean Power for Transport op een vergroening van het voertuigenpark in alle segmenten en de uitrol van de nodige infrastructuur. Waar mogelijk werkt het Departement Mobiliteit & Openbare Werken hiervoor samen met buitenlandse partners, voor kennisuitwisseling en grensoverschrijdende oplossingen.
MOBILITY AS A SERVICE
Om duurzame combimobiliteit te stimuleren, maken we in Vlaanderen werk van Mobility as a Service (MaaS). MaaS geeft gebruikers toegang tot multimodale vervoersoplossingen met meer gebruiksgemak en zet zo de eindgebruiker centraal. Maar mobiliteit organiseren is complex. Gebruikers willen controle en betrouwbaarheid, maar ook vrijheid en flexibiliteit. Daarvoor hebben we betrouwbare apps en afspraken met de aanbieders en alle MaaS-actoren nodig. Een uitgebouwd MaaS-ecosysteem als het ware. Om combimobiliteit verder te laten reiken dan onze eigen grenzen, kijken we ook uit naar internationale kennisdeling en samenwerking.
Nieuwe Pirrouet® -fabriek van Vandersanden haalt jaarlijks tot 2280 ton CO₂ uit de lucht
Vandersanden, het grootste familiebedrijf in Europa dat bakstenen produceert, heeft de eerste Pirrouet®-fabriek in Lanklaar officieel geopend. Het gaat om een investering van 32,5 miljoen euro. De fabriek produceert bij maximumcapaciteit jaarlijks 20 miljoen CO₂-negatieve Pirrouet®-gevelstenen. Een ton van deze stenen nemen tijdens het uitharden 60 kg CO₂ op, en het volledige productieproces wordt aangedreven door groene energie van zonnepanelen en een eigen windturbine. “Met de fabriek leveren we een aanzienlijke bijdrage aan CO₂-reductie en versterken we onze ambitie om tegen 2050 volledig CO₂-neutraal te opereren”, zegt Johan Deburchgrave, CEO van Vandersanden.
