Celebrating our 35th anniversary
Back in 1985, Rob and Ida van der Erve founded the company that has become the Erve Group we know today. Their son Martijn van der Erve and his team have grown the company into a truly international / global fashion powerhouse.
During those 35 years a lot has happened, both within the company and in our world. To celebrate our 35th anniversary, we condensed these major events into a symbolic 35-second video.
Enjoy!
Erve Group is a circle of companies that give everyone the opportunity to grow.
8 locations on 3 continents
