In the heart of our capital city Amsterdam, Royal Van der Leun - Electrobouw is installing a new evacuation alarm system under tight deadlines on behalf of Connect AV BV.
he monumental building 'Beurs van Berlage' serves as the workplace for our colleagues: it's quite an interesting location!
This stately building serves many purposes: it offers office spaces for rent, hosts conferences and other events, has its own kitchen, recently housed a Tony's Chocolonely store, features a bistro, multiple escape rooms, and even has 2 residences within the building.
Because of all these functions, maintaining the building is never convenient. In recent times, the building has been closed so that all major maintenance could take place simultaneously.
The evacuation alarm system we installed seamlessly blends into all the spaces. By precisely matching the color of the wall speakers to the wall color, this piece of technology doesn't stand out in the authentic areas.
Did you spot them in the photos?
In 1920, Jan Cornelis van der Leun opened his shop at the harbor of Sliedrecht. Radios and electric lighting were still new and remarkable at the time. What began with providing light and sound soon grew into creating solutions for the shipping industry and the emerging dredging sector.
That hands-on, problem-solving mentality is still at the heart of our work today.
Stores are constantly evolving: new concepts, updated interiors and smarter technologies. But who makes sure all those plans are actually carried out behind the scenes?
In 2025, Royal van der Leun is responsible for the maintenance and renovation of over 500,000 m² of retail space across the Netherlands. A task that goes far beyond simply pulling new cables.
From June 24 to 26, 2025, Royal Van der Leun will be present at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo Europe at RAI Amsterdam. At this leading trade fair in the maritime sector, we will showcase our latest solutions in intelligent electrical systems and sustainable innovation.
