Van der Ende Group is strengthening its presence in Belgium with the establishment of Van der Ende Group Belgium, located in the same building as Quality Pumps & Machines (QPM) in Lochristi. This step will increase the organization's clout in the Belgian market and ensure the clear positioning of both companies towards customers in various segments, such as construction, industry, and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA).
"With Van der Ende Group Belgium, we are taking the next logical step in the development of our Belgian activities," says Erwin Scheys, general manager of the Lochristi location. "Quality Pumps will remain the trusted point of contact for our customers in the construction and contracting sectors, while Van der Ende Group Belgium will focus on sales, service, and advice in other segments such as CEA, industry, and the installation sector. This will enable us to serve our customers with an even broader and more specialized range of renowned brands such as Lowara, Danfoss, Aeonpump, Selwood, and Grindex."

Clear division of roles between QPM and Van der Ende Group Belgium
The positioning of both companies has been carefully coordinated to offer customers clarity and continuity. Quality Pumps & Machines will continue to focus entirely on construction, contracting, and infrastructure projects, with the trusted combination of rental, sales, and service, whilst Van der Ende Group Belgium focuses on sales, service, and technical advice for, among others, the CEA segment, industry, construction shops, and installers.
Both companies are located in the same location and work closely together, but retain their own focus and customer groups. This prevents overlap and ensures an efficient market approach.
Local anchoring and growth

"Belgium is a growth market with great potential for us," Scheys continues. "We combine the local knowledge and experience of Quality Pumps with the technological expertise and product range of Van der Ende Group. This enables us to provide even better support to customers in various sectors, from water and pump technology to climate solutions."
The building in Lochristi will undergo a complete transformation in the coming period. Both the exterior and interior will be thoroughly renovated. Work will be carried out to further modernize and expand the office and workshop facilities. And the current team will be expanded with a number of new colleagues. In addition, QPM's rental fleet will be expanded and we will also be adding a number of new applications. This is to be able to serve customers even better with large and complex projects.
Van der Ende Group has stressed that nothing will change in the way that the business operates.
