Continue together under the name Driessen. Change in ownership, vision for the future and the growth in recent years of both companies made us decide to merge and continue under one name and under one roof at De Kuiper 2 in Eersel.

Sander has been working for Wilting B.V. for over 20 years. When he started, the company was still located in Wintelre and specialised in machining activities. “I think that’s how we first got into contact about 15 years ago,” Sander remembers. “We supplied milled parts and Driessen supplied sheet metal parts for a joint customer.

Varex Imaging is a leading independent provider of medical X-ray tubes and image processing solutions. The components are used by X-ray image manufacturers around the world to detect, diagnose and protect.

Hans remembers it well. “In 2014 we were looking for a new sheet metal working company because we weren’t happy with the quality of the products supplied at that time.” After a lot of preliminary work, and having identified a number of suppliers, they targeted our booth at the ESEF.

The collaboration with Tripod Mobility goes back about 30 years, when we delivered parts for ramps. “Tripod has been adapting cars since 1980 to make them wheelchair accessible,” says Geert Jan.

In 2008 Erik de Vries of EnzoSystems was looking for a party with expertise that worked with SolidWorks and was very flexible. He found what he believed to be a supplier without slick sales staff but with a no-nonsense attitude.

The collaboration between Driessen and Barbas Bellfires goes back a long time. We’ve produced a large part of their product range at one time or another. “This applies, incidentally, for all our suppliers here in the Kempen, with whom we’ve had a good relationship for years,” says Timo.
