As of Nov. 1, 2024, Vermako is in a new chapter of its rich history. What began as a family business led by Jacques Maes has now been handed over to a new generation. This changing of the guard not only marks a new era for Vermako, but also highlights the power of continuity within a family business. What does this generational change mean for the future of Vermako, its customers and the industry?
From heritage to innovation
Jacques Maes, founder and pioneer, started Vermako from a clear mission: to offer sustainable and reliable solutions for the protection of crops and goods. Now that mission is being continued by the next generation, who has grown up with the company’s values as well as bringing a fresh perspective. Innovation and modernization are key, while the core values of reliability, quality and customer focus remain firmly in place.
Why a generational shift matters Is
The transition to a new generation offers Vermako the opportunity to:
- Accelerating innovative solutions: The younger generation is bringing new technologies and sustainable methodologies to the forefront.
- Provide greater flexibility: Combining proven experience with modern strategies provides customized solutions that meet the demands of a changing market.
- To grow internationally: New energy and a modern approach enable Vermako to further expand its horizons.
Pride in a strong foundation
With a deep-rooted heart for the industry and a family character, Vermako maintains a strong connection with its customers. The generational change emphasizes that human connection and personal service will always remain a priority.
As Jacques Maes himself always emphasized, “Covering Goods.” This will remain at the core of Vermako’s approach in the future, where customers can count on high-quality structures that stand up to the challenges of Mother Nature.
A look to the future
The new generation is committed to further reducing the industry’s carbon footprint, while making production and assemblies even more efficient. Their ambition is to make Vermako not only a market leader, but also an inspiring example for other companies within the agricultural and industrial sectors.
Together with Vermako, you get the job done
With this generational change, Vermako is opting not for change for change’s sake, but for evolution. The company remains true to its roots, while opening the way for innovation and growth. Customers can continue to count on structures that stand like a house – strong, flexible and hassle-free.
