Introduction by Kees Koolen
Reflecting on 2023, it was a year of significant projects and groundbreaking milestones.
We've surpassed the tipping point in the energy transition, and from now on, it will only accelerate. This year marked numerous 'first times', with record-breaking projects and substantial strides in cleantech innovations. This is crucial to stay ahead in this global transition, which is not only about sustainability but also about building the New Economy. Based on clean energy, rather than oil and gas.
Our focus remains unchanged: entrepreneurship, customer-centricity, and steadfast commitment to reliable solutions with the goal of clean energy for everyone. I am proud of our group of 28 companies where over 1000 people contribute every day to a sustainable future.
In 2024, Koolen Industries will celebrate its 5th anniversary. Therefore, we will make an even bigger impact at our annual Summer Event. I warmly invite you to join this inspiring day on June 12, dedicated to the Energy Transition.
With great enthusiasm, I look forward to the new year, where we continue building tomorrow's solutions and realize today's customer projects.
At Koolen Industries, we take action towards building a new economy, based on clean energy and with unprecedented opportunities. Where clean energy and mobility are affordable, attainable, and available for everyone.
