Sustainability at Verbruggen: Our Commitment
to People and PlanetOur solutions aren’t only aimed at delivering operational efficiency, but also
a brighter future for our planet. We believe that sustainability goes beyond
low-impact manufacturing – it’s about us, our customers and the planet.

Sustainable Machines
The machines we build help companies worldwide work smarter and more efficiently while reducing their environmental impact. Our solutions deliver stacks that are high, straight, and stable, increasing the number of products on each pallet in a truck or container as well as the number of products that fit in storage units. The result? Fewer transportation movements, less damage to packaging, more storage space, and more efficient use of energy and raw materials.
Verbruggen’s machines are also built to last. Our robust constructions, low-maintenance technology, and remote support minimize material use, energy consumption, and transportation movements.

Sustainable New Headquarters
In 2025, we opened our brand-new sustainable headquarters in Emmeloord, the Netherlands. Our building is a prime example of future-proof design:
- A combination of solar panels and heat pumps keeps the indoor temperature stable and lowers our energy consumption.
- Circular and sustainable construction materials reduce our environmental footprint.
- State-of-the-art energy and building management systems enable smart and efficient energy control.
- Our headquarters have a high sustainability rating according to Dutch building regulations.
Our headquarters are more than just an office. They empower our team, customers, and partners to collaborate on sustainable growth.

Working with our customers and partners, we develop smart, sustainable palletizing solutions that have a lasting impact. Each sturdy stack is a building block for a brighter future.
