Esdec BV

What Esdec BV does

Esdec BV, headquartered in Deventer, Netherlands, designs, manufactures, and supplies professional mounting systems for rooftop solar installations. The company was founded in 2004 by brothers Jeroen and Vincent de Vogel and Theo Smit, starting from a shed in the Achterhoek region, and today operates as a brand under Enstall, an international solar mounting group. Its core product lines are the ClickFit EVO family for pitched roofs (covering seven roof-type variants including tiled, steel, corrugated, standing seam, EPDM/bitumen, Mediterranean tile, and slate) and the FlatFix family for flat roofs (FlatFix Fusion and FlatFix Wave Plus). Differentiated click-fit mechanics enable single-tool or tool-less installation and are credited with roughly 40% faster mounting versus traditional methods. CPX extends the portfolio into the commercial and industrial (C&I) segment, and accessories such as MLPE clips and the ClickFit EVO Roof Hook Pro broaden the installed base.

The company distributes exclusively through a network of more than 52 wholesale and distribution partners across 20+ European countries, including Rexel, ESTG, Libra Energy, and Solar Nederland, serving over 12,000 professional installers. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of mounting components, clamps, rails, and accessories; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Esdec holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, KIWA-BDA, VDE, and Peutz certifications, providing technical approval for tenders across multiple markets.

Beyond hardware, Esdec operates an integrated digital ecosystem through the MyEnstall portal: an online project calculator with 50,000+ active users, the OnSite mobile inspection app, the Enstall Academy (70+ e-learning modules with AI-generated multilingual content), and an optional OneFlow ERP integration via partnership with OpusFlow. The company has 125+ professionals and was ranked among the 53 fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands in 2023. M&A activity between 2018 and 2020 (Ecofasten Solar, IronRidge, Quick Mount PV, PanelClaw) extends Esdec's footprint into the United States.
