What a beautiful centenary we had!
It was great to be able to reflect on this beautiful moment together.
With invited guests during the anniversary reception and, of course, with our colleagues and their families during an enjoyable outing.
We looked back on the first 100 years of our history in a series of stories.
What you get from afar is not always better
But, of course, it doesn’t stop at the first 100 years.
That’s why, after looking back, I also like to look ahead.
Because where are we going to go with our company?
I mainly see opportunities in sustainability and quality.
And our customers see that too.
We recently welcomed two new customers.
They used to get their coolers from the Far East, but now they choose to get their parts closer to us.
Partly because transport costs from Asia have risen considerably, but mainly because we prove that we supply an excellent quality product that also lasts a long time.
Moreover, it is better for the climate to get parts from nearby.
Exactly the reason why we prefer to buy in the EU rather than outside it.
The greener the better
Sustainability also involves continuing to develop yourself and listening to the wishes of your customers.
They want the greenest product possible.
That is why, just a few months ago, we took our first propane filling station into operation.
However, the demand for propane-filled coolers is increasing so rapidly that we are already ready for another propane filling station.
Not only new coolers are being filled with propane, but also our existing customers are increasingly switching to this CO2-neutral refrigerant.
A good thing!
For the climate, but also for us.
By responding to this development, we ensure that we are current and that our customers like coming back to us.
Challenge in this market
Strong growth naturally also creates a challenge.
In a market in which it is not always easy to find the right people, it is sometimes a bit of a stretch to get the planning right.
I am therefore very happy with the colleagues who now work at Van West Koeltechniek.
Thanks to their efforts, we continue to exceed our customers’ expectations every day.
Top team seeks top players
Would you also like to be part of this top team?
And thereby help Van West Koeltechniek into the next 100 years?

In any case, I have every confidence in a bright future for our company.
