About us
History
1973-1983
The sole proprietorship came into being in 1973. After ten years, the business evolved into a corporation under the name Lakkerij Vandereyt Bvba.
1993
Another 10 years later, in November 1993, Vandereyt was taken over from Simonne Nilis, Mr. Vandereyt’s widow, by Rik Vandoorne of Het Veer. A family group primarily active in the electricity sector thus set its first foot in the surface treatment sector.
1993 – 2023
In 2023, the Lakkerij will have existed for 50 years and for 30 years within the Het Veer group. A little later that year, it was time for renewal and modernization: Lakkerij Vandereyt became V coat.
