Van Berlo takes a new position: smart concrete floors

brains in concrete floors

The world knows Van Berlo as a market leader in large-scale logistics concrete floors. For years, the company has been committed to innovation and sustainability, resulting in the award-winning Greymatter technology. The market leader is sailing a new, data-driven course with a leading role for research and development. Reason enough to completely renew the corporate identity.

CEO Twan van Hal explains, "Because the market for large-scale logistics floors is moving considerably, our role has also changed. Whereas we used to be primarily an extension of the contractor, we are increasingly sitting at the table with developers and Material Handling Suppliers and Integrators. For high-end logistics processes, the floor is one of the most important elements, a realization that we are slowly seeing trickle through in the market. That makes our investment in expertise more relevant now than ever. What makes Van Berlo unique is that we also have production in-house. Not only do we develop and engineer, we also guarantee the promised results and performance. That's why we dare to give up to a 20-year warranty."

Greymatter technology: crack-free and up to 50% less CO₂ emissions

In the construction of large distribution centers, the concrete floor represents half of the building's total CO₂ emissions. Van Berlo's Greymatter technology provides significant sustainability without compromising on quality and performance. Currently, Greymatter realizes commercial floors that emit 50% less CO₂ and remain crack-free. With this groundbreaking technology, Van Berlo has won the Cobouw Innovation Award 2023.

Smart concrete floors

Various brand names for products and business units disappear. From now on, everything will fall under one familiar name: Van Berlo. Twan van Hal explains, "We no longer think from our own product. What counts is what a floor can deliver for a client. We develop and devise custom floors that are well thought out, sharply engineered and expertly produced. Our new slogan 'smart concrete floors' tells in an international and innovative way what we have been good at for almost 45 years, and that is innovation." The new corporate identity will be rolled out in phases over the coming period, with the new website vanberlo.com as the first result.

Customization as standard

Van Berlo develops a high-quality customized solution for every client. A logistics concrete floor that meets specific wishes and requirements of users, developers and investors, and makes a concrete contribution to your business performance.
