automotive pioneers
VEGE was founded by Mr. Wim Versteeg in 1936, originally a small garage business, the founder saw an opportunity to expand after the Second World War. Many American military vehicles, Dodge, Chevrolet & GMC had been left in Holland and were in daily use by the civilian population. Wim’s idea was to be able to respond quickly to the demand for these engines, so he bought up a stock of defective units, reconditioned them at his own cost and put them into stock.
Simultaneously the VEGE exchange system was born; the defective old engines originating from the vehicles in which Wim had installed a reconditioned engine were accepted from the customer in ‘part-exchange’ and could be re-used. These old units were the raw material the factory required for future production. We believe that this simple concept helps establish our eco-credentials and makes us one of the oldest recyclers in the automotive industry if not the world.
VEGE’S ECO-CREDENTIALS
VEGE began offering an ‘off the shelf’ remanufactured alternative to new back in 1936. We believe that this simple concept helps establish our eco-credentials and makes us one of the oldest recyclers to the automotive industry in Europe, if not the world.
We like to illustrate our eco-credentials; to do this we looked at just last year. Based only on the weight of the car-parts we sold around the world in 2023 we saved:
4,453 TONs of raw material- per annum
by reusing the iron/steel/aluminium casting we not only save the costs base metal itself but we also prevent further damage caused to the planet by mining for the ore & minerals required to make metal.
16,565 MWh of electricity- per annum
by re-purposing the original castings the iron/steel/aluminium; does not need smelting, this is probably the biggest energy saving a company like ours can make.
8,239 TONs of CO2 - per annum
This is a figure we are justly proud of, it’s hard to be absolutely accurate when making these claims but we have taken a conservative approach; the same approach we adopted for the last 80 years.
