The power of DERCO


Derco is a thoroughly Dutch family business with an eye for quality, innovation and customer satisfaction. The founder of Derco is Quirinus de Ruijter, also known as Mister Q. He founded the company on September 1, 1984 in Alkmaar, typical North Holland. Quirinus de Ruijter managed to set up an international conveyor belt company in record time. The secret power then and now: being better than the competition, innovating and keeping a focus on excellent quality. His son, Claus de Ruijter, took over at the turn of the century. He accelerated Derco's growth, partly due to his vision on sustainability, flexibility and product innovation.

 

The power of quality

Quality is a broad concept. At Derco, they understand very well that this word must be in all parts of the business process. From the purchase of raw materials, to the production process, to delivery. 100% perfection in all steps: that's quality. In fact, all Derco employees are quality controllers. According to founder mister Q, purchasing a Derco product should always mean that you get the highest possible quality and service. Derco does not sell disappointment. Derco's product quality is demonstrated by: abrasion resistance, UV resistance, oil and grease resistance and our special N-paste plasticizer.

 

The power of people

Derco's employees make the difference day in and day out. Many of them have been working for this Dutch company for a long time. More than 20 years is no exception. They take pride in their work and together they strive for complete customer satisfaction. In terms of corporate culture, Derco stands out that there is room for the individual. From cleaning lady to mechanic. We attach great importance to shared responsibility. There is a big correlation between happy employees and a top product. Derco's short lines of communication ensure a positive corporate culture that benefits customers. Ultimately, employees ensure a top end product.
