From two separate power supplies (218 + 55 kVA) to one power supply pumping 1000 kVA into our facilities. A big improvement for Royal Van der Leun, as we can continue to accommodate the vast growing, high level of support our customers deserve.
The final part of the installation is installed right at our gate: a brand-new transformer station, supplied by Alfen. Through this station, the 1000kVA, enters our premises. Luckily this transformation is a piece of DIY-cake for our Industrial Electrical Systems division (Van der Leun Electrobouw) as they know how to execute a job like this, perfectly.
Together with the renovation of our facilities, this power supply upgrade helps Royal Van der Leun set a step forward. It enables Van der Leun Electrobouw to intensify the Smart Building program. Our new facilities will function as a state of the art showroom were we can show you all nifty features.
We thank Alfen, Stedin and Gemeente Sliedrecht for the great understanding and cooperation in the process reaching to our future proof facility.
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.
