Sad News on a Special Day

It is with great respect and sadness, that we have to share that José Laurier passed away on March 26, 2020. 35 years ago on this very day he had founded AppliTek.

‘Father Laurier’, as he was called by many, was a widely respected man. In addition to being the founder of AppliTek, for many he was also the father.

We will commemorate Jo Laurier appropriately and his life’s work will continue through us.
