Hubert de Halleux

Hubert de Halleux is a brewing and process engineer with more than 20 years of international experience in brewery project development, process design, and CAPEX front-end planning. He supports global brewing groups and independent breweries in translating technical requirements into robust process concepts that are practical to build, commission, and operate. His work bridges early-stage investment decisions and execution readiness.

Hubert's core strengths include feasibility studies, process and layout development, capacity calculations, technical specification writing, and alignment of designs with operational objectives and budget constraints. He has contributed to multiple CAPEX planning missions using global technical standards, supporting clients with structured engineering deliverables that reduce risk and improve decision quality. He is experienced in evaluating supplier offers, aligning contractors, and converting competing technical solutions into clear recommendations that support commercial negotiations.

In execution phases, Hubert supports project follow-up by identifying process risks early, clarifying scope boundaries, and ensuring that engineering decisions reflect operational realities. He is comfortable working across stakeholders—investors, brewery operations, OEMs, EPC partners, and procurement—ensuring that the project maintains technical integrity while staying buildable and cost-effective.

Within BevCon, Hubert contributes to Beverage Concept and Beverage Construction assignments through process engineering, tender support, contractor alignment, and technical due diligence. His value is particularly high when complex interfaces must be clarified early to avoid late-stage changes, commissioning delays, and performance shortfalls after start-up.
