A family business in the truest sense of the word, Proven Concepts is now in the hands of the second generation, represented by Roger and Michel Maessen. Proud of their heritage and determined to carry on their father’s fame, they are at the helm of a company that thrives on perfection and craftsmanship.
WE MAKE IDEAS VISIBLE
“We literally bring ideas to life,” explains Roger. “We have the expertise and production technology in-house, making us flexible, fast, and cost-efficient. Because of these attributes, we have built long-term relationships with our customers, who value us for our solution orientation, quality, honesty, and fast turnaround times.” With an extensive portfolio and decades of experience, they are uniquely positioned to bring even the most challenging technical issues to life. “In addition, we believe it is important to provide a seamless and worry-free experience, managing and executing every aspect of the project. Whether it is pressing metal parts, PU casting, polyester lamination, or creating an entire mock-up,” elaborates Michel.
Passion, knowledge, and innovation at its core
At the heart of Proven Concepts is a close-knit, multidisciplinary team driven by passion, knowledge, and a healthy entrepreneurial spirit. Their expertise spans a variety of industries, but the company’s roots are firmly planted in the automotive sector. Through years of collaboration with leading international clients, Proven Concepts has further developed, which means they now also operate in sectors such as agri, food, medical, transport, healthcare, and leisure.
Collaboration transforms urban transport
A recent example of Proven Concepts’ activities is its collaboration with VDL in the development and construction of the People Mover. This is an innovative transport concept for metropolitan areas, integrating connectivity, electrification, and autonomous driving. In the remarkably short timeframe of three months, Proven Concepts built the complete prototype, after which it was presented at the IAA Mobility in Munich. For this, the company combined all its techniques; from concept to engineering, milling of necessary tools, and final production of all parts. With the end result being this stunning mock-up.
From concept to reality
Proven Concepts is all about making ideas tangible. With their specialist knowledge and proven track record, they are a one-stop shop for everything in the field of high-quality product development and model prototyping. Their ability to innovate, anticipate changing needs, and always stay one step ahead makes them an indispensable partner in an ever-changing world. Thus, even the most ambitious visions can become reality.
