Easy Composites go Dutch!
AUK company which manufactures and distributes materials and equipment for advanced composites has opened a new European subsidiary. Easy Composites Group, which is based on Park Hall Business Village, has expanded its operations and established a base in the Netherlands.
It says the move will help it to overcome delays and complications following Brexit, and enable it to serve its European customers ‘better than ever’ following the
UK’S departure from the EU. Group sales director Matthew Statham said: “This expansion marks a significant milestone for Easy Composites and we are very excited about the future for us in Europe with this facility and incredible team in place.
“With the establishment of our subsidiary inside the EU, we know that we can not only return to providing pre-brexit levels of service to our EU customers but provide a service that’s better than ever – with our full product range ready for immediate shipment, as well as an accessible location for customer collections, product demonstrations, open days and training courses.”
The new subsidiary offers ‘fast and frictionless’ shipping to customers in all mainland EU countries and Ireland.
And Easy Composites already has plans to open a new demonstration room at the Rijen site, where customers can test the firm’s range of composites process equipment.
Composites training courses, which the company has provided at its UK site for the past 10 years, will also soon be offered at the Netherlands base – making them more accessible to European customers.
Jeroen van den Hout, managing director at Easy Composites EU B.V. added: “Since the start of the year we have worked non-stop to make this ambitious move a reality.
“The pandemic made it almost impossible to travel between the UK and Netherlands and so most of the set up – from finding the site through to the installation of bespoke rolling, packing and order processing systems – has all been handled remotely.
“It feels great to have now opened this new facility, already be processing hundreds of orders and know that this is just the beginning.”
Anyone within the EU wishing to buy from Easy Composites can now use the website – www. easycomposites.eu – which displays live stock levels at the EU warehouse and offers real-time calculation of shipping for parcel and pallet deliveries to all mainland EU countries.
