In the coming years, at Demcon, we will be committed to technology solutions for future-proof fruit cultivation in the Orchard of the Future project. Yesterday we signed this cooperation agreement together with 30 other parties in the Netherlands and the US. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration! More about our activities in agrifood systems soon.

The Campus provide space for further growth in an inspiring working environment with the potential of contributing to reinforcing the Twente region’s economy. This is how CEO Dennis Schipper wants to give back to the region what he himself and his company have received over many years. “We are able to show that things happen here. That tomorrow here already starts today.”

Today Demcon introduces its new brand positioning with a new brand story, new corporate identity, new website and the pay-off ‘imagine tomorrow. challenge today.’ As a high-end technology supplier, Demcon wants to further increase its positive impact and contribute to societal challenges with various projects. Demcon’s belief is that we have to work together today on the solutions of tomorrow.

The Demcon Technology Center (DTC) in Enschede has received the BREEAM Outstanding certificate. The building, which was completed in 2019, meets the highest sustainability requirements. In total, the DTC achieved a score of 87.69%. Bianca Screever, director operations, is very pleased with the certificate: “At Demcon, we do not only make a positive impact with our projects as a technology supplier, but also with the way we deal with our environment, our people and nature. This certification confirms that.”

The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is creating the world’s largest telescope. It has selected TNO to provide a key enabling technology that will allow the telescope to produce better views of the universe than have ever been possible. In the project, TNO will collaborate with Demcon Focal as a major sub-contractor. With the help of TNO’s laser guide star launch telescope technology, the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will provide insight into some of the greatest astronomical questions of our time, from the birth of stars to the search for signs of life on exoplanets in other star systems.
