Technology developer and producer Demcon (850 employees) has opened a branch at the Brightlands Health Campus in Maastricht. The high-tech company, founded in Enschede in 1993, has branches in the Netherlands in Best (Eindhoven), Delft, Enschede and Groningen, each close to a university. In Maastricht, the company is already working with the medical faculty of Maastricht University. With this new location, Demcon aims to attract talent from the southern region of the Province of Limburg by offering challenging work whereby the proximity to Aachen in Germany and Leuven in Belgium offers opportunities. The company started out with ten employees and expects to grow considerably over the coming years.

The first Vaxtractor was deployed in early December. With incredible precision and a filling rate of 250 syringes per hour, Vaxtractor can significantly ease the workload during the upcoming booster campaign. The machine was used in recent weekends to support the booster vaccination of Erasmus MC staff. Several thousands of staff were vaccinated. The initial findings are positive.

In the coming years, at Demcon, we will be committed to technology solutions for future-proof fruit cultivation in the Orchard of the Future project. Yesterday we signed this cooperation agreement together with 30 other parties in the Netherlands and the US. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration! More about our activities in agrifood systems soon.

Demcon has been ISO 45001 certified since this month. This certificate is the management system for working safely and in good health and concerns human well-being. It has been implemented for all Demcon companies. The certificate has been issued for the Demcon holding, Demcon advanced mechatronics, Demcon metal injection moulding and Demcon production.

Technology developer and producer Demcon has presented an ambitious vision for the future. Demcon had its start in 1993 as a spin-off of the University of Twente and today has over 750 employees and locations in four countries. The company has grand plans for the Demcon Campus in Enschede. The Campus provide space for further growth in an inspiring working environment with the potential of contributing to reinforcing the Twente region’s economy. This is how CEO Dennis Schipper wants to give back to the region what he himself and his company have received over many years. “We are able to show that things happen here. That tomorrow here already starts today.”
