About Impress
The family business Impress was founded in 1985 by Alexis Glorieux's parents, focussing on stamp making. The company was taken over by Alexis and his sister in 2019 who today run the company with great passion. As co-director within Impress, Alexis is mainly involved with directing production, purchasing raw materials and consulting with his sister.
The ten-member team now make all kinds of laser projects within Impress, including stamps, house number plates, machine plates and various types of laser engraving work.
Impress's customers are primarily in the office supply industry. "Our biggest customers are large, national companies in Belgium. That is also where our focus lies at the moment," explains the co-owner. Since COVID, they also focus on architects and contractors and would like to expand into the international market in the future.

"I have been a customer of Trotec Laser for 13 years and very satisfied with the Speedy 300 and Speedy 400 laser engravers. The materials I purchase from Trotec are always of good quality. In the future we also want to replace the Speedy 300 and then we will be at your door again."
Increasing stamp production with a Trotec Laser engraver
Alexis' father bought his first laser engraving machine around 2010 - a Laserati from Trotec. "My father bought this laser for stamp production at that time because we had previously done everything by hand and wanted to increase production. The Laserati was chosen because it was the fastest of its kind. The machine has helped us enormously to increase production and the quality of the stamps," says Alexis.

More lasers for a larger product portfolio
The purchase of the Laserati was so well received that the team invested in a Speedy 300 laser engraver in 2013, which is still in use today. This was followed by the larger Speedy 400 in 2019, with the larger bed size allowing for additional applications to be created, including thicker acrylics.
"Most of the materials I also buy from Trotec Laser. I especially buy a lot of Trolase and veneered wood from Trotec. These materials are also processed on the Speedy 400 laser cutter. The laser machine runs daily because we have a wide and large range of jobs"
