What Vamat does
Vamat B.V. is a Utrecht-headquartered value-added distributor and certified service partner for Huawei FusionSolar and FusionCharge solutions, operating across the Benelux and Ireland since 2016. The company distributes Huawei's complete PV energy ecosystem — SUN2000 inverters (2 kW residential to 115 kW commercial models), LUNA2000 battery storage (5 kWh home batteries to 4.5 MWh utility-scale container systems), FusionCharge EV charging hardware (DS720 power units up to 720 kW plus dispensers and AC/DC modules), Jupiter and DTS transformers, and SmartLogger/SmartGuard/EMMA/SmartMGC energy management devices — unified through Huawei's FusionSolar monitoring platform. Vamat does not develop proprietary core technology; its value-add is engineering support, training, warranty handling, onsite field service, and fast shipping from its own Utrecht warehouse (many items dispatch within one business day).
Vamat generates revenue through hardware distribution margins on Huawei equipment and professional services (project engineering advice, after-sales support, warranty administration), sold exclusively via B2B channels — regional wholesalers and large installation contractors including Solar Nederland, ESTG, Krannich Solar, SolarToday, GPC Nederland, and others. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure. The company operates two legal entities: Vamat B.V. (Netherlands) and Vamat Ltd (Ireland, Cork regional HQ). End-customer case studies span agriculture, manufacturing, utility-scale solar parks, floating solar, energy hubs, and EV charging, with installations ranging from residential rooftops to a 7.45 MW solar park and 2 MWh BESS deployments.
In September 2025, Vamat signed an acquisition agreement with Italy's Esprinet Group (€4.1 billion revenue, ~1,800 employees); the transfer was completed in early October 2025. The deal was driven by Vamat's 55% CAGR leading up to the acquisition. Vamat continues to operate as an independent entity within Esprinet alongside sister company Zeliatech. Huawei endorsed the transaction. Sander Binnema was promoted from General Manager to CEO to lead the next growth phase.
