Vecom Group in short<\/h2>\n

Vecom originates from chemists and has its roots in the shipping industry. Last year, Vecom celebrated its 70th anniversary and has grown to become the worldwide specialist in the field of metal surface treatment, with customers from the food industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, as well as from the medical and chemical sector, offshore, power stations, metalworking and (still) from the shipping industry.<\/p>\n

With a focus on no harm for people, the environment and metal, the Vecom specialists ensure that metal surfaces are treated in a safe and environmentally conscious manner. Both at one of our locations in the Netherlands and England, and worldwide on-site. Vecom's ambition is to add even more value for its customers through innovations. The Metal Analyzer<\/a>, for example, ensures fast metal analysis within two seconds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Vecom Way - the origin<\/h2>\n

Vecom is a sprout of the Benckiser family and is still led by chemists. The Vecom Group was founded in 1953. The founders, Dr. Willem Verbon (chemical engineer and inventor) and Jo de Vries (chief engineer at Nedlloyd) gave the company its name, Vecombinations; Vecom in short.<\/p>\n

The company was taken over by Reckitt-Benckiser in 1970 after a prosperous period of growth. In 1988, Vecom became independent again through a management buyout. After the sale of the shipping business unit in 1995, it became a family business, specialized in metal surface treatment and cleaning products for the metal, process, food and shipping industry.<\/p>\n

After a reorganization in 2017, Vecom has taken a new path, focusing on innovation and working in a more environmentally friendly way. We are continuously working on process improvement. The Vecom branches are spread throughout the Netherlands and England.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
