Modern, efficient and sustainable waste collection is catching up tremendously in France. In particular, underground collection is booming. VConsyst is increasingly en vogue here and is making a growing contribution to the rapid French transition.

Robust construction

An all-French company was established in France: VConsyst France SAS. “Our roots are Dutch, but we want to be an up and coming French company with French employees,” says director commercial France Pim Hoekzema. “In this quirky market, you have to prove yourself with a product from elsewhere before you are taken seriously. Our proposition, top quality and unburdening, is garnering more and more acclaim.” Clients walk away with the robust construction of the waste containers, on which VConsyst provides a seven-year warranty. For example, the all-welded, rust-free containers of three-mm-thick steel are “hot dip” galvanized only after welding. They feel like a vault.

Quality of VConsyst an eye opener

Now you still see most French collection facilities above ground, but that is changing rapidly. Pim Hoekzema briefly makes a ‘Tour de France’: “Our waste containers can be found for example in Longwy, Nantes, Briançon, Grenoble and Souillac-Cauvaldor. For ski resort Courchevel, all underground and semi-underground waste containers were supplied. In Périgueux and 27 neighboring municipalities, VConsyst realized a comprehensive collection project. Vichy, La Rochelle and the Bordeaux region are also already on the map. Everywhere, the quality of VConsyst proves to be an eye opener.

Custom production

VConsyst also replaces many existing underground waste containers and custom manufactures them for existing French concrete wells. VConsyst’s build quality and effective solutions consistently prove to be an eye opener for clients. Pim Hoekzema: “We also supply increasingly large numbers of Zweva waste containers. These round, semi-underground containers take their beautiful design with them and are a familiar sight in France.”

French employees

VConsyst France SAS is moving with the rapid French market developments. There are ambitious plans to grow substantially over the next three to five years. Recently, the VConsyst France team welcomed two new French employees. These collection experts know the local market well, continuously invest in new relationships and further expand VConsyst’s network in France.
