Van de Kar Elektrotechniek has had a relationship with itsme since early 2003 for the supply of materials and Siemens training sessions. This spring was the premiere of in-house customised training. “That is much more efficient. Our guys already have a certain background, so they can skip basic stuff and actually dive deeper into specific parts.”

Van de Kar Elektrotechniek, based in Roosendaal, was started by Jan van de Kar in 2003. His associate, Werner Zandbergen, one of the first employees, became a co-owner two years ago to ensure the continuity of the business. Both fulfil the role of technical project leader in addition to their management tasks. Van de Kar Elektrotechniek now employs 35 people and focuses on industrial automation for special machine construction and the process industry. “We provide electrical engineering, control, software development, installation and commissioning – complete projects from start to finish.”
