This accumulated knowledge enables us to continually refine the quality and durability of our products, and to incessantly raise our customer service to a higher level.
OUR OBJECTIVE
Innovation in terms of product
In line with the leadership every company strives for in its own industry, we as well explicitly commit to meeting the highest demands of our customers and stakeholders, by providing high quality materials that can reflect a company’s image, in accordance to the highest legal requirements. Vetex distinguishes itself on a global level through the use of technical polymers, its drive for added-value and its customer-focused organization.
Innovation in terms of processes
At Vetex, we prioritize sustainability. That is why we are strongly committed to Closed Loop Manufacturing, a concept whereby the solvent emissions released during the coating process is being captured and then (by our so-called Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer) converted into heat, either for the ovens or for the plant itself. In addition, we strive to generate as much energy as possible ourselves by means of our on-site solar park of 15.000 m2. (3.7 acres)
Innovation in terms of service
At Vetex we go the extra mile when it comes to providing service. Apart from the markets that we are already serving today, or the applications where you can find all our products, we are also open to partnerships.
