PON headquarters, Leusden (NL)

PON is one of the largest family-run companies in the Netherlands. It employs almost 13,000 people at over 250 branches in 23 countries. As an international trading and services company, it focuses on the sale of products from renowned manufacturers such as Audi, MAN, Porsche, VW, MAK, Linde, Caterpillar, Gazelle and Continental. This includes passenger cars, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, bicycles, tyres, road construction and earthmoving equipment and products for shipping, offshore, transport and logistics. The range is complemented by the provision of additional services such as repairs, leasing, rental and financing.

Sustainability plays an important role at PON. Not only in the sale of the products offered, but also particularly in-house. Thus, the company only uses green electricity, i.e. the complete power supply is sustainable. This, of course, also includes optimal energy efficiency of the building. For this reason, the headquarters building was recently the subject of extensive renovation during ongoing operation. The conversion took place in two phases. Wolter & Dros of Amersfoort carried out the mechanical installations. In the first phase of construction, the installations on the first floor of the building were modified. Once these new offices were completed, renovation of the ground floor began.
