Introducing Karin Dekker

Introducing Karin Dekker

Today we are introducing Karin Dekker. 

Hi, I live with my family in a small town not far from Arnhem, the Netherlands.

With a career spanning over two decades in a prominent Dutch financial institution, I made a pivotal decision to embark on a career break. During this time I dedicated my time to nurturing and caring for my two sons. As they have now grown into teenagers, a new chapter has begun. One filled with exciting business prospects. My new journey led me to HEC-Holland, where I have found an inspiring path to explore.

Within the dynamic HEC-Holland team, I have proudly taken the role of Sales Assistant. My role revolves around the meticulous operational management and follow-up of commercialized ventures. Even amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, I am steadfast in my belief that my role will soon evolve into a more comprehensive and multifaceted one.

HEC-Holland, a beacon of innovation and entrepreneurship, has been a rewarding platform for personal and professional growth. The company’s ethos aligns seamlessly with my ambitions, and I am thrilled to be part of this forward-thinking organization. It’s in this setting that I’ve uncovered opportunities to hone my skills and broaden my horizons. Each day brings new challenges and learning experiences that keep me motivated and invigorated.

My future at HEC

In this era of uncertainty, I am confident that my tenure with HEC-Holland will continue to evolve, allowing me to contribute my best to the team’s success. With a firm foundation built upon years of financial expertise and a renewed sense of purpose, I look forward to the future with optimism and a spirit of exploration. The synergy between my past and present makes each day a step forward on my exciting journey with HEC-Holland.

If any questions arise, please get in contact with our team! You can also find more information about Karin on her LinkedIn page.

New Converting and Distribution Center Goch

Converting and distribution center Goch

With great pleasure we announce that we have bought several converting lines in Goch, Germany. The new converting and distribution center in Goch will be in operation in Q1 2020. Here we will produce tailor-made end products and PE and PP based tapes.

HEC-Holland keeps on increasing the production and storage capacities to satisfy the customer base. We strive to create high quality products and deliver excellent services that meet wishes of our customers. All for competitive price settings and delivered according to the Just-In-Time principle.

2 newly built production locations

In total we have extended our converting capacity with 2 newly built production locations. Here we separate the metal-based production from other products in order to avoid cross contamination. This could potentially influence the properties within the end product.

Third location on the way

We are already building an extra production facility due to our expanding endeavors across the globe. The third newly built location will be our own warehouse where we are able to store all our own materials. The storage capacity will be up to 4.500 metric ton* for the continental part of Europe. This is aside from our 2 nordic locations in Helsinki, Finland and in the Jönköping region in Sweden.

Working visit to Hanwha

This September, a team of HEC-Holland made a tour with one of our valuable customers to South Korea for a working visit to Hanwha Chemical. The Main purpose of this trip was to further extend our collaboration with our partner.

The new fully automated production system gives way for a further grow in our XLPE capacity. The completion of the production site is expected by 2021 ~ early 2022. Along with this expansion Hanwha is also investing in an automated warehouse, especially dedicated for their Wire and Cable products. This also will be ready at the same time.

Hanwha is a strong global player in the Cable and Wire Industry and sees an overall increase in needs of their products and aims high on sustainability and has a clear vision for a brigher future. To showcase this and their intentions, they are building a new HQ in downtown Seoul. Their new office is near completion and ready for the 21st century. The building features are astonishing, with solar panels fully integrated in the exterior of the building. Which where produced by Hanwha’s sister company called Q-Cell.

The decade of electricity

decade of electricity

2020’s will be the decade of electricity

It does not surprise you that the coming decade will go into history as ‘the decade of electricity’. Many projects are being launched or being put on the drawing board. Wether it be on- or offshore renewable energy such as windfarms, hydro power, solar power or other alternative sources. They all focus on replacing fossil fuel power sources and reduce our footprint in the world.

Power generation

Electrification across key end users leads to a double demand of electricity by 2050. This is particularly driven by an increased demand in buildings and a general shift towards electricity as an energy source. Also road transportation is showing an incread demand for electricity. Wind and solar energy are rapidly gaining share in the capacity mix. In the past few years they accounted for more than half of the net capacity additions.
The generation of renewable energy is projected to account for more than 50% of the total power generation post 2030’s. This marks a clear trend break from historical fossil fuel-based generation.

Electric transportation

As the role of intermittent resources in total generation increases, power systems see strong growth balancing needs. Particularly when solar and wind generation combined reach a share beyond 30% commented by McK. 2 Key reasons are the costs versus effectiveness on renewables, which are getting more in favor towards fossil fuel – building solar or wind capacity becomes more of interest. At the same time the costs on storage capacity and the innovation on other storage capacity will decline further. Thus making it interesting to switch a big part of road transportation to electric. This applies for either passenger cars or trucks for the coming 5 to 10 years, thus within the 2020’s.

Sizeable production capacity

The first decade of the 20th century, where we are shifting towards renewables, is nearly at an end. We now enter into the second phase the energy transition with a visible shift into ‘the decade of electricity’. The politics need to take decisive decisions and steps to clear the road to start up the big projects. We face challenging times where some cable makers will have difficulties to make the right choices in order to be ready for the years to come.

Our conclusion: For now, there is a strong believe of having an overcapacity on the production of power cables in the market. But with the above aspirations, we think that a sizeable production capacity is required to achieve the ambitions for the biggest energy transition we have ever challenged.
