VDL Parree

VDL Parree is a Netherlands-based specialist in technical plastic injection moulding and a systems supplier of high-quality plastic components and assemblies. The company operates from Spoorstraat 8 in Sevenum, Limburg, and is part of VDL Groep, the Dutch industrial family group. Its core activity is the production of injection-moulded thermoplastic parts, which it can deliver as individual components or assemble into semi-finished or complete end products for customers. Engineering and production take place entirely in-house, supported by toolmaking, metalworking and a fully equipped assembly department. VDL Parree was founded in 1948 in Horst, Limburg, initially producing metal buttons and emblems for uniforms worn by the army, police, fire brigade and music societies. In 1955 the company took its first steps in plastic injection moulding, beginning with promotional tokens for the film Quo Vadis. Over the following decades, plastic injection moulding became its core activity, and the company developed into a specialist in technical plastic injection moulding. It began certifying its quality system as early as 1977, reflecting a long-standing focus on quality. In 1993, VDL Parree became the sixteenth company to join VDL Groep, and since then its focus has shifted further toward system supply and higher-value assemblies. Today VDL Parree describes itself as a reliable partner for 'built-to-print' components and a high-quality systems supplier. Its technologies include plastic injection moulding, insert and outsert moulding, gas injection moulding, 2K (two-component) injection moulding, MuCell, Shape, toolmaking, assembly and co-design. It supports customers during the engineering phase to balance product quality and cost efficiency. The company holds ISO certifications and IATF 16949:2016 for the automotive sector, and serves active markets that include automotive and other technical industries. With over 75 years of expertise, VDL Parree combines in-house engineering, toolmaking, production and assembly, offering logistical benefits and acting as an experienced development partner with a global supplier network.
