"Growing demand for a brand for irrigation and heating pumps"

Van der Ende Group is expanding its product range. In addition to its range of irrigation pumps and water technology solutions, the company now introduces a line of Horti valve control valves and Econ butterfly valves to complement the current line of Lowara heating pumps and Danfoss frequency converters. According to the company, this move stems from the growing demand, particularly from abroad, for a brand for irrigation and heating pumps.

Complete package
In the 1980s, Van der Ende Group introduced the brand Lowara into the horticulture sector. The company's team states, "the growing demand for 'high-quality' pumps for irrigation, heating, and water treatment is met with the complete line of Lowara pumps.

Van der Ende Group states that it has complemented the Lowara heating pump line due to customer demand for complete heating packages. The company has also complemented the Danfoss Vlt & Vacon frequency converters, where it achieved 'premium partner status' this year, with a new line of 3-way control valves and butterfly valves. Van der Ende Group considers itself to be a 'one-stop-shop' for all heating & cooling projects.

Horti valve 3-way control valve
The Van der Ende Group Horti valve is a control valve developed in collaboration with Hora. Hora is a company that is concerned with control valves for the industry and offshore sectors. The Horti Valve offers control characteristics. Additionally, the control valve is available in a complete range (from DN15-DN300).

Econ butterfly valves
According to the company, butterfly valves are 'indispensable' for heating and cooling projects. Therefore, Van der Ende Group has opted for a collaboration with Econ. A line of butterfly valve closures, both manually operated or equipped with a servo motor, is now available.

Graph comparison in curves
Van der Ende Group also introduces a renewed version of the selection tool Curves. With this tool, customers can select the complete line of heating pumps, butterfly valves, control valves, and control taps. The tool aims to allow for comparing different pumps to make a pump selection based on performance and specifications. The program also offers an overview of motor currents, soft starters, frequency converters, and flange sets that can be included in a project. "In short, a very complete and user-friendly tool for all customers."

Spare parts and global service
Intending to meet the desired service level worldwide, Van der Ende Group has developed a tool that aims to allow customers to quickly identify the necessary spare parts for their pump. With the growth of global projects in mind, the company has also made efforts to ensure a 'broad' assortment and a stock of 50 Hz and 60 Hz pumps. The recently opened Canadian branch and the warehouse in the Netherlands & Belgium should enable the company to meet global demand quickly.

Five guarantees
According to the company, the recent expansion of the product range is in line with the five guarantees that Van der Ende Group promises to its customers: "New products to offer a complete assortment, the largest pump stocks in the Netherlands, always at the forefront of knowledge and the latest developments, 24/7 service throughout the Netherlands, active worldwide."
