We opened our doors after a 3,000 m² expansion.
On 10 and 11 April 2026, we opened our doors in Emmeloord. After a 3,000 m² expansion, this was the moment to show where we stand as a family business and where we are heading. Under the theme C (Y)OUR FUTURE, we welcomed hundreds of visitors: customers, suppliers, family, friends and interested parties from the Netherlands, as well as international guests from Germany, Denmark, Belgium and France.
A look behind the scenes
Through an interactive QR tour, visitors explored our renewed facility and discovered how our vertical drilling rigs are developed and built. From engineering and purchase to machining, construction, (pre)assembly and service: every department showed the role it plays in the development of our machines.
Expansion and new departments
The 3,000 m² expansion brought not only more space, but also new possibilities. We opened a brand new Cut & Bend department, equipped with a Bystronic laser cutter (6 kW, max. cutting thickness 25 mm) and a Bystronic press brake (320 tonnes, max. bending thickness 15 mm). Additional workstations were created in the new building, and pre-assembly now has its own dedicated place within the production process. This enables more efficient lead times and greater control over quality.
Live demos and digital innovation
Our covered test pit was running at full speed. Visitors saw the Combi 300 B combined with the CCR 2500 live in action, could follow real-time data on the display and operate the machine remotely via computer. The Combi 300 E-GT and the Boxer 150 GT with CCR 1000 desanding were also demonstrated live.
The full product range
From compact machines such as the Boxer 60 and SBM 50 E-6 to larger installations such as the Boxer 200 DA and Combi 300 DA. Every application was represented: ground source energy, well drilling, dewatering, soil investigation, dual drill head, desanding and drilling accessories. A complete overview of the breadth of Conrad.
Building the future together
Many valuable conversations were held, and relations were able to experience our company from the inside. Friday ended with a celebration featuring Satisfexy, while Saturday was dedicated to family and friends, with a kids' area for the youngest visitors. Together with our visitors, we raised more than €3,600 for Stichting Hartekind.
We look back on two days that show what Conrad stands for. Thank you to everyone who attended and to the entire Conrad team that made it all possible.
