Infranea’s mission

Infranea aims to play a leading role in creating, managing, sharing and using information on infrastructure projects. With our Information Engineering services, we promote cooperation between all disciplines and stakeholders throughout the life cycle of projects.

Our open and collaborative company culture

The flat corporate culture of Infranea promotes collaboration, knowledge sharing and innovation. Employees indicate that they are appreciated and that they are listened to. The horizontal management structure ensures direct and transparent contact with all employees.

Why was Infranea founded?

In 2004 Infranea was founded by Johan Kuppens and Lut Van Os.

By that time, Johan was already busy with bettering the processes of the infrastructure for many years. In the Mid-80’s the first 3D-design software came on the market and Johan immediately played an essential part in it at the software company Infrasoft. Like no other, he understood what impact 3D-modelling would have on the very traditional way of the design- and building processes(long before the term disruptive technology got acknowledged). As founder and CEO of Infranea, his ambition was to collect 3D-experts so together they can use these tools and methods on leading infrastructure-projects with passion.

For Lut – as manager of HR and Operations at Infranea – the emphasis was on the company culture and the family feeling. The person behind the employee always came first for her. She created Infranea into a close-knit team that worked together respectfully. Not a single technological innovation was allowed to intervene with the team spirit.

After an extensive growth in numbers, Lut and Johan carried over “their Infranea” to the VK family. They stayed on board Infranea until the end of 2020 to carryover the torch to the new management. At VK architects+engineers, Johan will still be taking the role of Digital Director.

More about information engineering

Lut and Johan were not only at home but also at work the perfect match. The founders’ hearts and souls are connected to Infranea forever, and we are eternally grateful to them for this.
