Van Dorp is a prominent, innovative and sustainable service provider from Holland, with an annual income of 270 million euros. Pro-Tec will continue to operate under its original name. Pro-Tec was founded in 1995 and after 25 years has developed into a specialist in the field of Mechanical Contracting and Refrigeration. In the meantime Pro-Tec has grown into a company with close to 100 employees that provides installation, maintenance en repair to the tourism, industrial en commercial sectors. Furthermore, Pro-Tec is a supplier of high-quality and energy-saving air conditioning units for households. “Innovation, professionalism and sustainability have always been our priorities towards businesses as well as clients,” Fred Steeghs, Managing Director of Pro-Tec explains. “That is why the Van Dorp Groep is a perfect match”! Van Dorp Groep is a family business (www.vandorp.eu) established in 1985 by Henk Willem van Dorp that grew into a major technical service provider with presence all over Holland. Van Dorp offers a total package of technical services and installations and it specializes in, among others, green energy concepts, security, fire protection, industrial automation and swimming pools. In all its operations, the sustainability and conservation of natural resources such as electricity, gas en water, are fundamental. De Van Dorp Groep has 22 locations in Holland with about 1500 employees. “Now that we work within the Van Dorp Groep, that opens the door to bigger opportunities for us,” Steeghs added. “They have a huge chunk of knowledge and experience from which Pro-Tec can tap directly into. But that is not all. We can also benefit from the extra advantages within the Van Dorp Groep in the fields of ICT and procurement,” emphasized Steeghs. Van Dorp Groep is very active on the transition of energy in Holland and adds value to the sustainability of installations and buildings. “It is exactly that eco-friendly business model that spoke directly to us,” Steeghs said further. Both Pro-Tec and Van Dorp Groep aim to reduce the impact on nature as much as possible; not only in the sustainable projects we execute for our clients, but also in the sustainability of our own structures and logistics. The mission and vision of both companies convene on a similar path where people and nature are central. With the inclusion into the Van Dorp Groep, Pro-Tec is ready for the future and Steeghs sees it a sustainable one. “We have plenty of common ground, not only in the service we provide, but also in our efforts to leave a planet, and therefore an island, in the best shape possible for the future generations. We are going to accomplish that together”, said Steeghs. ”
