About GDTech

GDTech, with around 200 employees in Belgium and France, is particularly active in the automotive sector, carrying out structural, fluidic, acoustic and even optical studies for its customers. These studies range from finite element calculations in fast dynamics (crash, …) to carrying out flow studies of aerodynamics or optics, for example, with the aim of validating perfect illumination of a logo in a door. GDTech’s customers are vehicle manufacturers, large or small series, equipment manufacturers, but also road equipment manufacturers and even automotive experts who want to understand the causes of certain accidents. GDTech can be involved in different phases of product development such as: carrying out finite element studies, CAD support, realising complex parts (hydrogen injectors, handling devices, …) or carrying out and monitoring experimental tests.
