“Making installers’ jobs as easy as possible is also the aim of 4blue”
Since Esdec was founded 20 years ago, the company has undergone tremendous development. In this anniversary year, we look back on this from different perspectives in a unique interview series. Perhaps the most essential perspective is that of our customers, the distribution partners of our products. Robert Paul Evers, CEO of 4blue, has been selling our products exclusively since 2015.
“With solar we can make super impact. And that is still wat I really like about this business.”
“From Packaging, we would also like to make the work of the solar professional as easy as possible”
The added value of packaging is still sometimes underrated. Our Packaging Engineer Judith van Voorthuizen considers that as a compliment. For a year now, she has been working full-time on packaging and packing all products.
“Users are able to just login and take a module from the Esdec Academy”
At Esdec, we find it important that solar professionals go onto the roof well trained and prepared. That is why we invest extensively in product training courses, webinars and e-learnings. After free registration, users have access to over 70 modules in the Esdec Academy.
“Efficiency and convenience are truly the keywords when it concerns the Esdec Calculator”
It is perhaps the most appreciated online tool, the Esdec Calculator. Since its launch in December 2020, there have been more than 50,000 active users and that number keeps rising. Niels Lubbers is not surprised about it. He started working as a Product Owner in about the same period as the launch.
“I am genuinely proud to be part of Esdec’s success”
From a shed in a small township in the Eastern part of the Netherlands, Esdec’s adventure began 20 years ago. Artist easels served as demo roofs and installations were done by brothers Jeroen and Vincent de Vogel and Theo Smit himself. Michael Dijkslag (born in 1989) knows the stories but was not part of them yet.
“Esdec has grown very fast over the past 3-4 years. We have a lot of new colleagues, new products and new services. But when I look at the DNA, it is still the same as it was a few years ago.”
Building value for solar professionals. Based on that ambition, we launched MyEsdec. A new online portal that provides access to all our digital tools and services. One of those digital tools is the integrated training portfolio of Esdec and Chapter. From now on, both parties are jointly committed to optimising the knowledge level of solar professionals. These announcements coincide with the kick-off of Esdec’s 20th anniversary, which we will highlight in various ways in the coming months.
Solar Solutions (19-21 March 2024) was the official kick-off of our anniversary year. The Esdec stand was extra festive and on the opening day we raised a glass to “Cheers to 20 years”. In the coming months, we will be highlighting our anniversary in various ways. So keep a close eye on our website and socials.
