Total solution in equipment rental

They have been the equipment rental specialist for over 65 years and have grown into an international company. "We owe this growth to satisfied customers, who see us as a business partner who is fast, affordable, innovative and reliable," Rob and Robin Reigwein tell RECO's CEO and COO respectively. "With Eekels Pumps we have a far-reaching cooperation and we strengthen each other."

Eekels Pumps, also active as a rental company but specifically in the field of pump installations, has as many as five branches, each with its own workshop and service department, in the Netherlands and Belgium. "Through the expert advice of our specialists and an extensive product range, we provide total solutions for every project." Pieter Molmans, managing director at Eekels Pumps, adds: "As a family business, we can switch quickly and offer security by keeping the line short between the client and the specialist. In doing so, we look at the developments and expectations in the market and the customer's demand."

Largest fleet of pumps in the Netherlands
"Due to the enormous growth, there was a shortage of pumps. But with the acquisition of Pompfontijne's assets in November 2018, Eekels currently has the largest fleet of pumps in the Netherlands. On top of that, Pompfontijne's fleet was well maintained and thus immediately deployable. With as many as a thousand pump units and a great diversity within them, we can serve the entire market, i.e. contracting, industry, government and offshore. We have a suitable solution for every challenge and can always deliver from stock. From request to order, our team of specialists and consultants will always devise and implement the most efficient pump unit for the customer."

Safe and ecological
"With increasing safety requirements, it is very important to offer pumps that meet the stringent requirements. We now have thirty Atex pumps that can be used within explosion hazard zones. Our twenty-five Chemline pumps have full stainless steel internals that allow aggressive liquids to be pumped. This makes them particularly suitable for use in industry. There are also the Hidrostal pumps: clog-free pumps that are particularly suitable for heavily contaminated liquids such as sewage thanks to a special impeller." 

Strong in disaster recovery and service-oriented
"Because we can mobilize equipment, people and transport quickly, we are the ideal party to realize complex pump installations, even in the event of a disaster. Devising and developing a complex temporary pump installation at break-neck speed, that is our strength," Pieter continues. "Moreover, we are ready 24/7 and are therefore always available and deployable."

Telemetry
"Innovation is very important to us and allows us to develop new products and improve existing ones. This allows us to increase efficiency and reduce costs in most cases. The latest development within our industry is the deployment of telemetry. This allows customers to remotely monitor and control the pumping plant. Efficient and cost-saving! I can say that we have a solid foundation for the future, everyone has worked hard for that and that also reflects the entrepreneurship of Rob and Robin. By acquiring assets, we have sufficient support to continue serving the market. Our customers can choose from a huge variety of pumps, piping and pipe bridges and everything of course with the best service, day and night," concludes Pieter.
