After months of preparation, the Canadian branch of Van der Ende Group officially opened its doors. This marked a special moment in the history of the Dutch family business, which has been operating a new office and warehouse in the Kingsville area since early 2023. Roughly a hundred guests attended the event. Attendees joined the Dutch and Canadian management in a champagne toast presented by owner and CEO Lex Van der Ende.
In addition to the catering provided by Kingsville's own License to Sear, guests were also able to explore the extensive parts and product ranges provided by the Kingsville operation. Brock Herman, General Manager Canada, presented the wide array of products and services: "It's great seeing the interest for our products. This applies to both our trade products and our own water and climate systems, such as the Kathari UF and the Airmix. Several people have mentioned how happy they are to finally have a local presence in Canada," said General Manager of Canadian operations Brock Herman.
Lex van der Ende also noted, "We are incredibly proud of everyone who has contributed to setting up this branch. Without all this positive engagement, we would not be standing here today. And we are convinced that we, as Van der Ende Group Canada, can immediately add value to the North American market. With our years of knowledge and experience in the field of laws, regulations, pumps, variable frequency drives, water systems such as UF and HPRO, and air management systems like Airmix, we can provide all our existing and new customers with the right advice and service."
Canadian Greenhouse Conference
Furthermore, Van der Ende Group announced that they will be attending the Canadian Greenhouse Conference. This event is a crucial meeting point for growers, investors, suppliers, and research partners. "We are excited about this opportunity to connect with our existing and future customers, and we look forward to developing a deeper understanding concerning the specific needs and challenges of the Canadian market," said Micha van Nieuwkerk, COO of Van der Ende Group.
At the event, Van der Ende Group is showcasing a modern booth with its innovative products on display. The booth staff consists of both Dutch and Canadian colleagues. The management team will also be present to welcome visitors and those interested in Van der Ende Group Canada. "You know our motto, eh? It's 'Improving Your Business'. The conference provides the opportunity to get the word out on how we accomplish just that," added Brock Herman.
With the recent successful opening and the upcoming participation in the Canadian Greenhouse Conference, Van der Ende Group Canada is taking a significant step in its strategy for expansion and consolidation in the North American market. The company invites everyone to visit their booth during the Canadian Greenhouse Conference at booth number 3006
