Overview

VDL Parree is a Netherlands-based specialist in technical plastic injection moulding and a systems supplier of high-quality plastic components and assemblies. The company operates from Spoorstraat 8 in Sevenum, Limburg, and is part of VDL Groep, the Dutch industrial family group. Its core activity is the production of injection-moulded thermoplastic parts, which it can deliver as individual components or assemble into semi-finished or complete end products for customers. Engineering and production take place entirely in-house, supported by toolmaking, metalworking and a fully equipped assembly department. VDL Parree was founded in 1948 in Horst, Limburg, initially producing metal buttons and emblems for uniforms worn by the army, police, fire brigade and music societies. In 1955 the company took its first steps in plastic injection moulding, beginning with promotional tokens for the film Quo Vadis. Over the following decades, plastic injection moulding became its core activity, and the company developed into a specialist in technical plastic injection moulding. It began certifying its quality system as early as 1977, reflecting a long-standing focus on quality. In 1993, VDL Parree became the sixteenth company to join VDL Groep, and since then its focus has shifted further toward system supply and higher-value assemblies. Today VDL Parree describes itself as a reliable partner for 'built-to-print' components and a high-quality systems supplier. Its technologies include plastic injection moulding, insert and outsert moulding, gas injection moulding, 2K (two-component) injection moulding, MuCell, Shape, toolmaking, assembly and co-design. It supports customers during the engineering phase to balance product quality and cost efficiency. The company holds ISO certifications and IATF 16949:2016 for the automotive sector, and serves active markets that include automotive and other technical industries. With over 75 years of expertise, VDL Parree combines in-house engineering, toolmaking, production and assembly, offering logistical benefits and acting as an experienced development partner with a global supplier network.

History

VDL Parree was founded in 1948 in Horst, Limburg, in the Netherlands. Its original business was the production of metal buttons and emblems for uniforms worn by the army, police, fire brigade and music societies. In 1955, the company took its first steps in plastic injection moulding, which would eventually become its core activity. Its very first plastic products were promotional tokens for the film Quo Vadis. From that starting point, VDL Parree developed into a specialist in technical plastic injection moulding. To offer customers a complete package, the company also provides metalworking and has a fully equipped assembly department. VDL Parree began certifying its quality system as early as 1977, and a focus on quality has been a key value within the organisation for many years. In 1993, VDL Parree became the sixteenth company to join VDL Groep. Since then, the focus has shifted further toward system supply and integrated manufacturing. Today, VDL Parree operates from Spoorstraat 8, 5975 RK Sevenum, in the Netherlands. It describes itself as a specialist in plastic injection moulding and a systems supplier, producing high-quality injection-moulded plastic parts and, when required, assembling them into semi-finished or complete products for its customers. The company also supports customers during the engineering phase, aiming to achieve optimum product quality at an appropriate cost. Both engineering and production take place entirely in-house. Its technologies include plastic injection moulding, insert and outsert moulding, gas injection moulding, 2K injection moulding, MuCell, Shape, toolmaking, assembly and co-design. VDL Parree holds ISO certifications and IATF 16949:2016 for the automotive sector, and serves active markets that include automotive. With over 75 years of expertise in injection moulding and system supply, the company positions itself as a reliable partner for built-to-print components and a high-quality systems supplier, offering logistical benefits and acting as an experienced development partner with an extensive global supplier network.
