NedZiNk is what ZiNc is all about

Build on NedZink

Business area NedZink

As a passionate player in the market for rolled Titanium Zinc (Nederlands TitaanZink (NTZ)),

NedZink is inspired each day by the demand from architects, designers and users for existing

and new possibilities. This rich tradition dates back as far as 1892.

Since 1995 NedZink has been part of the leading international holding company Koramic

Investment Group. Production takes place in the Dutch town of Budel-Dorplein. There are sales

offi ces in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

As the fi rst producer of rolled construction zinc with quality assurance according to

NEN-EN-ISO 9001:2008 NedZink is a stimulator of durable and technically high quality zinc

applications. As a trading partner, NedZink is an inspirer with its reliable provision of knowledge,

quality and service. As a market leader NedZink is a promoter of creative zinc possibilities.

The strength of NedZink lies in the A-quality and durability of the zinc produced, and in the

long-standing tradition of deliberate entrepreneurship while accepting responsibility for

people and the environment. Future-oriented business management and investments

in up-to-date production techniques further strengthen the market position and

create room for new developments.

In a nutshell, NedZink stands for proactive

cooperation in all areas where zinc is involved:

Think Zink.

creative applicatioNs

Taut lines, luxurious roundings, minute details or large gestures.

Anything is possible with zinc. As a result, the architect is not

restricted with the conception of creative zinc applications as a

building material in roofs and façades, for exteriors and interiors, in

homes or utility buildings.

orgaNic combiNatioNs for

a high quality aura

As a natural product zinc can be organically combined with other

materials. This increases the creative challenge to incorporate this

building material in the high quality aura of both traditional and

modern architecture.

Change, inspiration and growth are what con-

struction activities are based on. This is why

architects constantly require materials to allow

them to come up with new and freer designs.

NedZink helps create by making zinc suitable as

a building material for all applications. In bands

and sheets, but also for example in round forms.

This design freedom gives the architect much

room for manoeuvre in the creation of aestheti-

cally appealing designs.

NedZink not only guarantees the very highest

quality zinc. In practice users can also count on

the supply of custom-made products and techni cal

advice. Specific documentation gives answers to

all practical questions. Thorough knowledge of zinc

processing in the construction industry is passed on

in courses given by our own practical instructors.

Successive generations of craftsmanship

and experience have helped NedZink with

the development of the highest achievable

Titanium Zinc quality. This premium quality

material can be excellently moulded and

processed in roof, outer wall and rainwater

drainage systems.

Choose practical applications

easy for the user

An essential consideration when choosing a

building material is its processability. Plumbers,

roofers, façade builders and other users of zinc are

infl uenced in practice by the mechanical properties

and technical quality of the material. This is parti-

cularly the case with special appli cations with high

requirements as regards durability and fl exibility.

the best choice for a loNg

life aNd aN optimal image

As a building material in roof and façade cladding

and rainwater drainage systems, zinc has ultimate

sustainability because of its long life and because

it can be used again afterwards. Architects who

think zinc are particularly enthusiastic about

the application possibilities and appearance.

Clients are aware of the added value for their

real estate. They can also count on the absence

of maintenance costs. The government stimulates

these deliberate choices which contribute to the

protection and embellishment of the environment.

Zinc substantially helps the preservation of our environment. Thanks to the

reduced acidity of rainwater, the already considerable life of construction zinc is

becoming increasingly longer. Because zinc is at least 95% recyclable, the

original metal can be used time and time again without losing its properties.

This cuts the energy demand over the whole life cycle for (re)production, as well

as emission quantities and waste.

As a sustainable company NedZink

subscribes to the Triple P of People,

Planet and Profit. Making a profit

may not be at the expense of people

and the environment, so ultimately

our planet. NedZink literally takes

its raw material from the earth.

Around a hundred years of deve-

loping and perfecting the produc-

tion process offer the guarantee of a

quality status well above European

basic standards. The building material

supplied by NedZink has its advanta-

ges in durability and aesthetic quality,

making it impossible to imagine the

construction industry today without it.

iNNovatioN remaiNs fasciNatiNg aNd iNspiriNg

Besides thinking and acting on quality, NedZink constantly concentrates on the future. It seeks

new openings in the application of construction zinc. Innovation is the guiding motive. As a material

zinc has a centuries-old tradition. By constantly applying the existing product in new forms, it remains

as fascinating and inspiring as a new discovery. A striking example of such a new opening in the

market is NedZink Nova, the prepatinated Titanium Zinc from NedZink. Made for modern, aesthetic

building practice.
