HISTORY
On September 8, 1958, Piet van der Sande started the company Technische Industrie VDS in the neighboring village of Reusel, specializing in the processing of thin sheet metal work with fully automatic presses. The company also developed expertise in toolmaking.
On February 10, 1981, Technische Industrie VDS, which was in financial distress, was taken over, together with its 70 employees, by Metaalwarenfabriek Van der Leegte b.v. This made VDL VDS Technische Industrie one of the first companies to be taken over by the VDL Group, which at the time consisted of 42 employees. With the acquisition, VDL Group added a fully-fledged tools shop, a specialist in sheet metal production with fully automatic presses, and an arsenal of new customers to its operations.
Many of the customers from the early days are still customers today. Under the banner of VDL Group, VDL VDS has developed into an internationally operating and recognized production company.
