What Lcc-plafonds does
LCC-Plafonds is the Belgian brand of Interalu Group, a family-owned Belgian industrial company founded in 1969 that has specialized in metal ceilings for more than 50 years. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies bespoke metal ceiling systems from its headquarters and production facility at Fotografielaan 51 in Antwerp, producing linear (BL, CL, XL) and cassette (SQ) panel systems in steel, aluminium, and DuplexCoat® surface treatments. Panels are produced to exact project dimensions up to 8.5 m in length, with acoustic absorption coefficients up to αw 0.95 and a glue-free click-system assembly that enables full disassembly and reuse. The company also manufactures integrated climate ceilings — SAPPceiling® (heating/cooling via embedded PE-RT piping) and SAPPceiling®Hybrid (adding active night cooling via free chilling) — plus the accessible Easy-Klima® Plus climate ceiling.
The business model is B2B and project-based. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of metal and climate ceiling systems priced per project based on type, material, dimensions, finish, acoustic requirements, and technical integration of lighting, ventilation, sprinklers, smoke detectors, and motion sensors. LCC-Plafonds operates a dual go-to-market: a consultative direct enterprise sales motion (working with end customers, architects, and engineering firms such as AAVO, Cuypers&Q, AE+, BESIX, Alheembouw, and Houben) for large projects, and a distribution channel of 40+ distributors across Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and France (AGIMEX, CRAS, BAUSTOFF+METALL, BATI C, CARIMAT, CARLIER BOIS, CLAES CENTER, BIEMAR-BOIS, BOISMAT DELVAUX, ARDOISES & MATERIAUX, ASTRIMEX) for retail and trade customers. The company serves enterprise customers across office/corporate real estate (primary), healthcare, education, hospitality, and demanding-environment verticals (sports halls, swimming pools, outdoor canopies), with international reach through Interalu offices in Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and France plus a sales partner in Italy. Notable reference installations include over 12,000 m² at DPG Media's Mediavaert in Amsterdam, Picanol Group's headquarters in Ypres, AZ Maastricht, Erasmus MC Rotterdam, the heritage renovation of La Grande Poste in Liège, and contributions to Belgium's first WELL Gold certified office (Onyx) and BREEAM Excellent certified Möbius Towers.
