Facilities Wetering supplies facility services to various large companies. The decision to opt for GDF SUEZ Global Energy was based on good support, first-rate advice and outstanding market information.
Facilities Wetering is a versatile company in the south of the Netherlands. Established in Weert, Limburg, the company supplies energy and facility services to a large number of companies that operate both at home and abroad.
The energy department of Facilities Wetering produces and distributes energy products such as electricity, natural gas, steam, compressed air and water to its customers. The company also supplies services to a number of sister companies, including Trespa International, market leader in the development, production and delivery of high quality panels for decorative wall cladding and interior surfaces.
Facilities Wetering has already been working with GDF SUEZ Global Energy for the supply of gas and electricity for some time. "Facilities Wetering is a company with various activities and is a large, energy-intensive organisation", says energy manager Dick Zuidhoorn.
"The average annual energy consumption of the affiliated companies is about 15 million cubic metres of gas and 68,000 MWh of electricity." Dick Zuidhoorn explains that some of the energy is used for presses, steam generation for hot water systems and support for a number of energy-intensive production processes.
The energy policy for the various divisions of Facilities Wetering focuses sharply on reducing power consumption. "We are currently working on reducing the energy consumption for our steam generation process. We have made long-term agreements with the companies we supply energy to (including Trespa) with a view to minimising the energy consumption per ton of end-product."
These energy targets call for tailor-made approach and an energy partner that takes a constructive approach to finding solutions. GDF SUEZ Global Energy applies its expertise to serving Facilities Wetering. "What's most important to us is sound advice on energy matters", confirms Dick Zuidhoorn. "In that respect we've made the right choice with GDF SUEZ Global Energy, as this strategic partner stands out mainly for the quality of its advice."
Up-to-date market information is vital to efficient portfolio management, emphasises Dick Zuidhoorn. GDF SUEZ Global Energy provides him with advice and tools for efficient management. "We depend on up-to-date information and analyses concerning the development of the principal energy markets in order to meet our energy targets. GDF SUEZ Global Energy gives us access to the latest stock market information, which gives us an insight into aspects such as the development of energy prices."
According to Facilities Wetering, GDF SUEZ Global Energy also stands out for its good support performance, in areas including account management. Dick Zuidhoorn: "The lines of communication are short. I know who I need to contact if I have any problems or requirements in the energy area. The response is always good. Market information, advice and support are the three most important aspects on which we judge the relationship with our energy partners, and GDF SUEZ Global Energy always stands out favourably on all of them."
