Customer event for the anniversary

40 years ago, the Dutch AERZEN subsidiary was founded. About 70 customers, as well as guests from the parent company, accepted the invitation to the anniversary celebration, which took place on 28 June 2018 at Aerzen Nederland B.V. in Duiven, near Arnhem.

Aerzen Benelux B.V. commenced operations on 5 February 1978 as an independent AERZEN subsidiary, with eight employees. Under Managing Director Peter Schulte the company developed steadily and was renamed Aerzen Nederland B.V. in 1986. Also under the guidance of Rob Lammers (from 2001) and Jos van Espen (from 2009), the company continued to grow. In 2017, turnover was already more than €16 million, with about 30 employees. Since 1 July 2018, Remko Knol is Managing Director of Aerzen Nederland. The management team includes Siert Wiersema, who since 2005 has focused on sales and marketing; and there is sales manager Tim van Haren, technical/ after sales manager Jeroen Boekhorst, and Jet Wiersema Roghair in administration.
The Dutch subsidiary is number 1 in the domestic market with its comprehensive AERZEN product range of blowers, compressors and turbo machines. The special feature is that Aerzen Nederland not only sells standard products, but also offers special solutions, which are designed and  assembled in Duiven. An example of this is the VacoMaxx assembly, a combination of vacuum blower and oil-injected VMX compressor on a compact base platform for unloading cement from ships. Aerzen Nederland has already sold about 400 bespoke, oil-injected VMX compressed air packages with diesel or electric drive. The main customers are domestic shipyards, which often operate worldwide, and the cement industry. About two thirds of Aerzen Nederland’s customers come from industry. Multinational companies such as DOW and BASF, and also well-known companies such as Van Aalst Marine & Offshore, Van Aalst Bulk Handling, Cargomaxx, Cummins and Sibelco rely on the know-how, experience and strong after-sales service of the team at Duiven. The other important customer  group is Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) from the plant engineering sector. “In addition to our product and consulting quality, the price is what counts here,” says Knol.
The 40th anniversary event impressively proved how strong the bond is between Aerzen Nederland and its customers. The programme included four presentations by customers, who presented their business concepts in connection with various AERZEN applications. The speakers were the managing directors and division heads of the Van Aalst Group (bulk handling), Dinnissen Process Technology (pneumatic conveying), Royal Haskoning DHV (waste water treatment) and Paques (industrial waste water technology, desulphurisation technology)
