As a family business based in Mechelen, involvement and development are key concepts for the Belven management.

Belven’s open entrepreneurial spirit goes hand in hand with our commitment to conduct business in a socially responsible manner.

At Belven we are convinced that our commitment to customers, employees and society will bring further growth to the company.

Initiatives taken by employees receive maximum encouragement and support.

In 2012, for example, a number of committed employees inspired the creation of the Belven Foundation. This initiative is aimed at supporting charities and social projects and stimulating the talent and development of young people. 
This commitment does not stop at national borders, as witnessed by the initiatives in Africa that Belven supports.

Investing in training

Local anchoring and broad development are important criteria in the selection of initiatives.

• Training is the key to development and should therefore be stimulated as much as possible. We try to do this by working closely with pupils and students and by supporting a variety of local initiatives. 
• Training never stops. Improving one’s knowledge and expanding one’s skills is a never-ending task. Belven is well aware of this and therefore promotes in-house initiatives and supports external projects. 

Sports as a tool for development

Sport is an excellent way of (further) developing social skills such as perseverance, team spirit, and cooperation. 

A healthy mind in a healthy body is one of the core values that Belven embraces. To encourage this, Belven supports various actions that are organized by its employees. Examples are the recreational running and cycling groups and the participations in events for which the equipment and material facilities were provided by Belven. 

Social projects

Projects that are closely aligned with Belven’s values and vision will always receive our unconditional support.

There are not only the small-scale social projects in the local community or the participations in national events, Belven also seeks to play an active role in foreign projects.

Two cases in point are non-profit association Jennes Friends Projects, which aims to provide intensive guidance to autistic youngsters, and non-profit association Warme Gloed in which our IT manager Joeri Van Deuren is involved with heart and soul. Warme Gloed supports agricultural and educational projects in Kunting, a village in Gambia.

A big thumbs up to all employees and volunteers who were directly or indirectly involved in all initiatives of the past few years: truly heart-warming and a source of endless energy!

Invalved as promised

Belven nv is a Belgian SME with 45 years’ experience in valves. Belven nv is independent, allowing it to develop its own long-term strategy.

Today, the family business is managed by the son-in-law and daughter of founder Robert Van Keilegom. 

At Belven, our employees are working daily on finding solutions to meet our customers’ expectations. Delivery reliability in all its aspects is what makes Belven unique in the valve world. As a customer, you can at all times rely on a dedicated sales contact team consisting of one office employee and one field employee. 

Our very central location by the E19 between Brussels and Antwerp is a huge advantage both for our customers in the Benelux and for the logistic interaction with other Belven offices in Moscow, Dubai and Hong Kong, via the port of Antwerp.

Since 2013, the 40 employees have been accommodated in a trendy company building. This was an investment not only in the well-being of our human capital but also in Belven’s business operations. It is also where the central stock for the Benelux and the European distributors is located and where all of Belven’s core activities (research and development, assembly, testing of valves, revisions, repairs and the coordination of the on-site interventions) are carried out.

Each family has its own history. So does ours. 

Our history started in 1974, when Robert Van Keilegom established Belgium Ventiel nv. The company was a smart spin-off from the installation firm that he managed together with his brothers. Initially, Belgium Ventiel was a trading company distributing high-quality valves. 

The constant search for innovation soon led to the development of our own products and our own Belven brand. Belven thus developed into a quality label in the market of 1/4 turn valves. The focus is on butterfly valves and ball valves.

In 2008, Robert Van Keilegom passed the torch to a new generation, led by Geert Van Mechelen. Together with his team of managers and colleagues, he has since been running a flourishing company with worldwide branches and an ever-growing geographical coverage. While the operations and the product range may differ slightly from region to region, the company’s DNA remains unchanged: the Belven family values, the involvement of, and with, all stakeholders: staff, customers and suppliers. 

More than ever, Belven has full confidence in the future, which we want to shape together with you!
