Alwako joins the VDK Groep

For almost 50 years Alwako has been providing high quality installation services to business clients and private customers in the southern Netherlands based on the principle “Comfort Superieur and you feel it”. The directors of Alwako Arjan Baken and Jan Paul van Houtum will remain on board to guide the company’s future growth.

Arjan Baken: “I am proud and pleased to join the VDK Groep. Alwako is a healthy company and our growth opportunities increase further with this step. The decisive factor in choosing VDK was that we can continue working in the same way with our own people. Preserving our identity with our own name on the building and our vehicles is an essential constant value for us.”
Jan Paul van Houtum who joined in 2022 as director and co owner: “With increasing regulations and a tight labour market we regularly face demanding choices and challenges in our field. It is reassuring to make full use of the strength and expertise of a large installation group such as the VDK Groep. This secures our succession for the future and ensures continuity for our company.”

Frans van der Kolk CEO and founder of the VDK Groep: “If you have been active in the market for almost 50 years you are a company that has proven itself year after year for a large group of customers. That is why Alwako is such a strong addition to our group. I am pleased with this expansion in North Brabant and I wish Arjan Jan Paul and our new colleagues great enjoyment within our family of companies.”
