Stronger together: why CCD became a member of Vematex

At Cleaning Consultancy Delft (CCD), we believe that cooperation and knowledge sharing are essential to moving the industrial laundry industry forward. That is why we are proud members of Vematex, the association for suppliers of products and services to the textile care industry, since 2024. With our active participation, including the role of our director/owner Anthony Hendriks on the board of the association, we at CCD are committed to the future of the industry together with the other members.

What makes Vematex so important?

The laundry industry is constantly evolving, with challenges such as the energy transition, innovation in technology and retention of professional expertise. Vematex provides a unique platform where suppliers come together to address these issues. By exchanging ideas, knowledge and experience, we work together on solutions that contribute to a stronger, sustainable and future-oriented industry.

Anthony Hendriks, owner of CCD, explains why he is actively involved with Vematex:

“I don’t just want to be a member, I want to contribute. At Vematex, we have the opportunity to make a real difference by working together on the challenges of our industry. For me, it’s about impact, not casual coffee drinking.”

How does CCD contribute to Vematex?

As a specialist in the laundry industry, CCD is in a unique position. With our years of experience and in-depth knowledge, we help companies work more efficiently and optimize their processes. Our membership in Vematex gives us the opportunity to use this expertise more broadly, not only for our customers, but also for the industry as a whole.

At Vematex meetings, we bring up topics such as:

• Preservation of specialized knowledge: How can we ensure that craftsmanship is not lost?
• Innovation in processes and technology: What are the latest trends and how do we translate them into practical applications?
• Attracting talent: How do we make our industry attractive to the new generation?

By talking about this with other members, together we come up with concrete actions and solutions that benefit the entire industry.

Working together for a forward-looking industry

The laundry industry faces complex challenges. Think about making processes more sustainable, dealing with rising energy costs and the need for technological innovation. According to Anthony, this is exactly why it is important to work together:

“You can’t solve these challenges on your own. At Vematex, suppliers and experts come together, knowledge is shared and ideas are exchanged. This is essential to make our industry stronger and more sustainable.”

This is why, Vematex offers not only structured meetings, but also perfectly organized informal moments such as the annual networking day. These days are great for speaking with fellow professionals, sharing experiences and exchanging ideas.

What does this mean for our customers?

Our membership in Vematex not only strengthens our position, but also that of our customers. By keeping up to date with the latest developments and trends in the sector, we can provide them with even better advice and support.
