Together strong throughout Flanders

Pride is our core value

Under the wings of FRONNT, the companies Lenaerts from Houthalen-Helchteren and Van Vooren from Bruges are now joining forces. Together they can offer the warehouse sector a wealth of experience and expertise in the field of industrial installation techniques. 

'Running your energy transition' is the baseline of FRONNT, an alliance of a dozen companies in electricity, heating, plumbing, ventilation, air conditioning and automation. All members want to help companies in their pursuit of sustainability. Van Vooren and Lenaerts are two protagonists in this one-stop shop. "We are two different companies that nevertheless share the same values," says Francis Claeys, general manager at Van Vooren. "Lenaerts is therefore the ideal partner for us to jointly take care of four new halls of Heylen warehouses, a regular customer of ours for many years, in Ham."

All confidence

"This cooperation gives us the opportunity to geographically serve all of Flanders, both left and right of the Brussels-Antwerp axis," assumes Ilse Lenaerts, deputy director at Lenaerts. "When a logistics company establishes a hub, it is not region-specific. The bigger the spread, the better. But it is not economical to send our teams to West Flanders, for example. With peace of mind and full confidence, we can then recommend Van Vooren. We are equal partners with short lines of communication. Within our cooperation, we exchange not only knowledge, but also labor. Admit it, such regional involvement only benefits the efficiency of our projects."

Flexibility

"Pride is the core value of Lenaerts and our people therefore get the time to deliver quality," says Ilse, after which Francis adds that his company is perfectly aligned with this core value. "The fact that we are both also strong in flexibility completes the picture."
