Initiated by
Eudor BOISDEQUIN in 1935,
the scope of the commercial activities of this family-led Company
covered
progressively installation, sales and maintenance of electrical,
radio-electrical and TV (black and white, followed by colour)
equipments.
In
1960, Gilbert BOISDEQUIN continued
his father’s activities under the name
« BIANCO », the birth-name of
his wife. He started dealing with Telecommunications in 1970, when he
became an
official KENWOOD (Japan)
representative. An import department is created in 1977, with a broad
range of
well-known brands: e.g. TURNER, DRAKE and HI-GAIN (USA), MICROSET and
ZETAGI (Italy).
The
Company BIANCO was founded in 1981
on the same tracks: it is administrated by Mrs BOISDEQUIN, spouse of
Gilbert
BOISDEQUIN, and her unique son: Luc.
Since
then, the expansion is continuous
as the Company imports VHF/UHF equipment from ALINCO (Japan)
and
builds its own Research & Development Department, headed by Dr. Ir.
Serge
RAES, and aiming at designing specific units or interfaces required
from
Belgian and other international customers.
In
the early 1990s, professional
telecommunication equipments are imported from Japan
and the USA,
with a significant increase in sales volume. A first success was the
implementation of a complete VHF network, with fixed and mobile users,
for the
Romanian Government. The same applies to Burundi,
Rwanda, Guinea and Ivory Coast,
in close collaboration
with other Belgian companies.
A
number of our customers are public or
government services in Belgium
(e.g. police forces, fire brigades, civilian safety, emergency
services, ...)
and in other countries (e.g. Cameroon,
Congo, Mali,
Erythrea,
...). Security is an essential element of our business and our
realisations are
recognised to meet or exceed expectations. Our after-sales, on-site
maintenance services, and own private
lab provide the guarantee that our customers get the most from
their investments: our best publicity comes from our customer-base.
In August
2012, the company Ets. BIANCO sprl was liquidated and all its assets
were purchased by Serge Raes. Trade at BiancoTelecom continues
to be managed by Luc Boisdequin, registered as LBeB (Luc Boisdequin
electronics Belgium).
