Vredenburg Hengelo B.V.

What Vredenburg Hengelo B.V. does

Vredenburg Hengelo B.V. is a regional electrical wholesale distributor headquartered in Hengelo, Netherlands, operating since 1933 across the provinces of Overijssel and part of Gelderland. The company sells approximately 12,000 articles from A-brand manufacturers including ABB, Eaton, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Legrand, Hager, 3M, and Wago to electrical installation companies (its primary segment), panel builders, machine builders, electrical retailers, utilities, and government entities. It is a B2B-only operation that does not serve end consumers.

The company's offering combines three integrated streams: a wholesale catalog of electro-technical components, lighting, and installation materials; a custom Panelenbouw (panel building) and Kastenbouw (cabinet building) service that assembles low-voltage distribution units up to 1600 ampere to customer specification; and value-added advisory services such as custom lighting calculations (lichtplan) and personal order verification. Customers can order through field representatives, inside sales via telephone and email, a 24/7 webshop at shop.vredenburg.net, or dedicated iOS and Android applications. A same-day delivery promise (orders before 9 AM within Hengelo, before 11 AM outside) is fulfilled by Vredenburg's own delivery fleet.

Vredenburg is a privately held Dutch B.V. and operates within the Coöperatieve Vereniging Imagro cooperative, which in turn links to the European purchasing organization Imelco. Headcount is reported at 7 employees in firmographic data and up to 14 across the regional operations; two physical locations in Hengelo (Westermaatsweg headquarters and Opaalstraat panel building facility) support warehousing and assembly. No revenue, funding, or M&A activity is disclosed in the available data.
