Tripan

What Tripan does

Tripan is a Belgian custom prefabricated concrete manufacturer, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Dilsen with a 5-hectare production facility in Rotem. The company produces bespoke concrete panels and assemblies — solid panels, sandwich panels, fire walls, lattice sandwich panels, and thermal bridge panels — manufactured on adjustable metal formwork that allows project-specific dimensions rather than standardisation. Core technical differentiators include KOMO-certified sandwich plate anchoring systems, anchor rails with thermally galvanised cast-in profiles, self-cutting tap anchors for plug-free installation, plastic Z-plate melting anchors engineered for fire-wall safety, and integrated insulation options (EPS 60, PIR ALU, RESOL) with thermal conductivity values as low as λ 0.020 W/(m·K). Surface treatments include natural stone aggregates (silex) with exposed finishes, colour dyes, and multiple texturing techniques.

Tripan serves B2B customers exclusively — primarily construction companies (bouwondernemingen) and architects — across industrial, commercial, government, office, school, and infrastructure projects in the Benelux region. The company operates a project-based go-to-market: each engagement involves bespoke design, engineering, production, transport, and mounting specifications, with revenue generated through one-time custom quotations rather than published price lists. Tripan explicitly does not sell to private consumers. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Willy Naessens Group, a diversified Belgian construction conglomerate, and holds a dense stack of certifications (KIWA KOMO, KIWA CPR, KIWA NL BSB, ISO 14001, Silver CSC, BREEAM-NL MAT5, CE marking, BENOR) that qualify its products for public procurement and sustainability-rated construction projects.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Volle panelen (Solid Panels) Massive self-supporting concrete elements designed for horizontal installation, manufactured on flexible metal formwork adjustable in height and width for custom designs, used for facades, walls and parapets in industrial and utility construction.
• Sandwich panelen (Sandwich Panels) Prefabricated concrete elements combining outer and inner leaf with integrated thermal insulation between layers, designed for stacking construction with a load-bearing inner leaf and cantilevered outer leaf for facades and load-bearing walls.
• Brandwanden (Fire Walls) Fire-resistant concrete wall elements that do not burn, providing up to 240 minutes (Rf 4h) fire resistance at 160 mm thickness and preventing fire spread through compartment separation in buildings.
• Tralie Sandwichpanelen (Lattice Sandwich Panels) Sandwich elements connected by stainless steel hairpin (coupling) anchors, with inner and outer leaf requiring full support and a maximum height of 4,000 mm; intended for facades where full structural support is available.
• Koudebrug panelen (Thermal Bridge Panels) Elements with integrated EPS 60 insulation for mass reduction and concrete connection ribs forming controlled thermal bridges between inner and outer leaf, used where specific thermal bridge detailing is required.
• Transport Transportation service for finished prefab concrete elements using specially equipped vehicles, with elements cast-in transport anchors and coupling rings enabling simplified loading, unloading and placement at the construction site.
• Plaatsing & Montage (Placement & Assembly) On-site assembly service for prefab concrete elements covering temporary fixation, alignment, final fixation and end control, performed by specialised mounting conductors to ensure correct installation.
