Schuurman Wholesale in Electrical Engineering is strengthened with the addition of Frigé Electrical Wholesaler
The itsme Group, as a Dutch family business, is further shaping its strategic growth ambitions within the installation market by integrating Frigé into Schuurman. As a regional specialist in electrical solutions, Frigé has developed a strong reputation since its founding in 1961, resulting in long-term customer relationships. With the addition of branches in Haarlem and Heerlen, installation companies and panel builders throughout the Netherlands can now rely on the expert advice and trusted performance of the strong combination of Schuurman and Frigé. Always personal, close by, and supported by the practical, committed and professional DNA of the itsme Group.
Taco Leeflang, Chairman of the itsme Group:
“Frig is a healthy family business with a strong position in its region. The way in which Frig works – close to customers, technically strong and based on long-term relationships – fits seamlessly with the values of Schuurman. By bringing Frig under Schuurman, we strengthen our position in the Haarlem and Heerlen regions and continue to build on our carefully built up national coverage within the installation market. We remain open to family businesses that want to anchor their future within a stable, enterprising, and culture-driven group.”
Harry Loppersum and Jos Jacobs, owners of Frigé:
“We have always placed great value on our personal way of working and the relationships we have built over the past decades. Schuurman and the itsme Group understand that culture and are an excellent fit. At the same time, the market demands continued investment in digitization, logistics, and product range. For an independent family business, this is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve on its own. By joining a larger group, we can continue to offer our customers the same attention and expertise, with the certainty of future-proof support for our employees and suppliers.”
