Van Zon Headquarters, Belgium

The head office of Horeca Van Zon has been located in Hamont-Achel since 1980. Thanks to the steady growth of the company during the past 3 decades they have outgrown their head office. Due to the lack of space and expansion possibilities, they were obligated to relocate.  An impressive future-proof newbuild where they have room for their logistic department, warehouse (with both cooling and freezing areas) and their offices. Energy efficiency was the key focal point of the design and building process.

Koen Beckers, the technical advisor at Van Zon, was in charge of the project and is incredibly proud of the result. The big move from Hamont-Achel to the new head office of 172,222 sq. ft./16.000 m² in the Kristalpark in Lommel took place in November 2020. Theyplanned this project for 2 years. They knew what They wanted and needed in the very early stage of the process, as this was not Their first newbuild project. They’ve had a previous building project in Beerse and learnt a lot from this. The best tip They can give you is to  Surround yourself with experts.
