This is what Vlint stands for.
For over 30 years, we have managed everything related to air, climate, and dedusting for utilities and industry, ensuring healthy work environments and continuous operation of installations. Simply put: we make sure you can keep going.
From the beginning, purity has been our source of inspiration. Not only in the air we filter but also in our way of working: thinking along with involvement, communicating clearly, and providing solutions that work. As our founder Jan Hannink himself says: "That is what we stand for. Vlint, and that's that."
A Golden Combination
What once started as a specialist in filters has grown into a complete supplier and service partner. From filtration, climate systems, and sustainability to customization, service, and advice, we handle it from A to Z. Think of four links in a chain. Individually they are strong, together they are worth gold. One partner, short lines of communication, less hassle. It can be that simple.
- Filtration: for clean air and healthy environments in buildings and processes.
- Sustainability: energy-efficient air handling that saves costs and CO₂.
- Air Distribution: comfort and optimal airflows in every space, from offices to factory halls.
- Process Solutions: for dust-free, safe, and hygienic production processes.
Our Way of Working
The best results come from simply working well together. Not only internally, but especially with our clients. We listen to what is truly happening, think along, and translate that into practical and feasible choices that are within reach.
Quality, speed and flexibility
Production, warehouse and office? We have everything under one roof, which is very convenient. Because we manage our entire production process in-house, we maintain control over quality and can respond quickly, even with urgent orders or unexpected situations. We produce most of our fabric filters ourselves, from cutting and sewing to special collars or finishes. This enables us to always meet complex requirements for a wide range of applications.
Sustainability First
Sustainable practices don't have to be complicated or expensive. With smart, achievable steps – like energy-efficient filters – we help you save energy and reduce your ecological footprint. At the same time, we take responsibility for our own impact. Vlint operates an electric fleet, currently runs 100% on green energy, and our facility is completely CO₂-neutral.
Successful together
We don’t just work for you, but especially with you. Whether it’s optimizing airflow in a data center or ensuring food safety in a factory, we always look for solutions that provide reliability, safety, and continuity. Many great collaborations have emerged from this approach, and we’re secretly quite proud of that.
More than 30 years of purity
Our journey began in 1991 when Jan Hannink founded the company Nedfilter. It started small with the production of filters and quickly grew into a specialist in the climate and dust removal sector. Several sister companies followed, each with their own specialty.
- Nedfilter: filters for air handling units and dust extraction installations
- Climexx: textile air distribution systems
- Requa: reconditioning of filter installations
- Insolids: dust-free and efficient solids handling
In 2017, four of these companies joined forces and continued under one name: Vlint. This created a total supplier that can fully unburden customers from A to Z.
In addition to air and climate, Jan Hannink also saw more possibilities in the raw material with which it all began: felt. In 2002, Nedfilter took over Stokvis & Smits, specializing in filtration products, technical fabrics, and felt articles. This gave rise to the sister companies Viltex (technical felt including potato drying cloths for the industry) and Vilton. Vilton started with simple bearing felt for construction but is now a full-fledged construction partner for airtight, watertight, crack-free, and acoustically optimal building. Vilton and Vlint operate together under one roof, still driven by founder Jan Hannink.
