Education

Committed and qualified professionals are a key differentiator in our business. To ensure we continue to find sufficient technical talent in the future, we actively maintain contact with the education sector. Pupils and students regularly visit our locations in Dirksland, Eindhoven, and Zundert. With these contributions, we aim to be socially engaged and future-focused.

The various initiatives supported:

Innovation

‘Healthcare must be faster, better and cheaper and will change completely in the coming years', emphasizes Kees du Pree, Managing Director of VDL TBP Electronics en VDL RENA Electronica. ‘Technological innovations play an important role in this.’ With Design for eXcellence analyzes (DfX) in the early design stage and the production of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), we are fully involved in technological healthcare innovations.

Of course we are certified for the medical ISO 13485:2016.

Sustainability

Energy saving

With various measures, we have reduced our own energy consumption. In 2016, local consultancy Energieke Regio carried out an energy scan with practical recommendations. These and other measures were elaborated in the Energy Reduction Plan, which already led to 10% savings in 2017. For example, we invested in insulating retaining walls for the plastic facade elements to save energy. Solar panels on the roof generate energy for production. The heating and cooling installations have also been adapted so that the residual heat from the machines can heat cooler rooms. And thanks to segmentation, timers, motion detection and LED lamps, we save a lot of lighting energy. A new vacuum pump, which only switches on when it is in use, also consumes less energy and there are now four charging stations for electric cars in our parking lot.

Sustainability is a structural point of attention. For ISO 14001-certified companies such as VDL TBP Electronics and VDL TBP Electronica, this is self-evident.
