Tributes paid as Gertjan Meijer of VB-Airsuspension USA made a member of the '40 under 40 class of 2022'

RV PRO Magazine, the biggest RV magazine in the United States, presents the '40 under 40' prize each year. Based on the many nominations that get sent in, they select 40 candidates under the age of 40 who have distinguished themselves as young professionals who have had an impact in the motorhome industry.

Gertjan Meijer, president of our subsidiary VB-Airsuspension USA was singled out this year to join the '40 under 40 class of 2022', and was presented with an award recognising his achievements at an event on 8 November 2022.

The jury paid particular tribute to Gertjan's work introducing a new product to the market, setting up a distribution network in Elkhart and building the reputation of VB-Airsuspension and its products in the United States. There was also recognition for VB-USA as the market leader for air suspension systems in the US.

The awards ceremony was held in Las Vegas, at the RV Dealers Association Convention in Caesars Palace. Gertjan accepted his award proudly watched by his wife, the team from VB-USA and Gerald Molenveld (General Manager), who were also in attendance.

On behalf of the VB-Airsuspension Team, may we say: congratulations on this well-deserved prize, Gertjan!

Return of the international aftersales meeting this year!

In addition to our annual international sales meeting, we are delighted to report that, as of 2023, the international aftersales meeting has become another fixture in the calendar!

We have updated our brochures!

We're already through October and the end of the year is in sight. Before you know it, we'll be settling in for those chilly evenings again: lighting the stove, putting our feet up and getting the tablet out while relaxing on the sofa.

We were keen to celebrate a special moment with Martin!

Today, 20 October, was officially our colleague Martin Uffink's last day of work and marked the start of his retirement. He chose not to work up to the very last minute: with some hours saved up and annual leave owed, his last day at VB-Airsuspension was actually back in August –on Thursday 22nd, to be precise.
