We were proud to welcome our VB-Partner, Volkswagen, last month. We were excited to host the Volkswagen training day on Wednesday 29 May: a request we jumped at, of course!
An inspiring day: visit from our VB-Partner Volkswagen
Volkswagen has been rolling out a training programme for its account managers in its own dealer network for two years now. This means several training days are organised for various work integration social enterprise partners, and last month VBA was honoured to facilitate this.
In addition to providing the fully organised Volkswagen training day, we had the opportunity to contribute to the programme to familiarise the Volkswagen team with our organisation and the challenging world of (air) suspension (even more).
Instructive presentations from Volkswagen were complemented by our own company presentation by Stan Mombarg, Area Sales Manager BeNeLux – which covered all the ins and outs of VBA. WDT Services also took part with a presentation on the support it can offer to the sales consultants.
As usual, our VB-Partners were given a tour of our Logistics Centre: it was a unique opportunity to see our organisation in action for themselves.
To convey our company mission to the training day participants and allow them to experience the comfort of our products for themselves, they all had the opportunity to take a drive around our very own test track. Everyone took a test drive in a Volkswagen vehicle without air suspension and then another test drive in a Volkswagen vehicle with our air suspension.
By completing the same test drive twice, they could feel the differences between a vehicle with an original suspension and one with our air suspension: it is the perfect way to really feel the difference our products can make in terms of comfort, safety, stability and functionality. We are proud to look back on a valuable day together with Volkswagen.

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.
