Something exciting is coming

A bond as strong as steel

We can no longer contain ourselves. We have been working on something major behind the scenes for many months. In January 2025, we will merge van Esch and Functionals to become one rock-solid brand: Functionals.

 

Blending into one

van Esch and Functionals are currently two separate brands within one family firm. In recent years, van Esch and Functionals have grown ever closer together. The brands share a passion for metal and artisanship with attention for detail and functionality. Now that the third generation of van Esch is at the wheel as well, it feels like a natural step forward to blend van Esch and Functionals into one rock-solid brand. A brand with which we are prepared for the future. With more focus to serve our customers even better. 

What does this mean for you?

In January 2025, van Esch and Functionals will jointly continue under the name Functionals. We will launch a stunning new website, logo and house style. Of course, you can still count on the service, quality and artisanship you have come to expect from us. The ordering process and your contact will remain the same.

How will this affect the product range?

In Januari 2025, we will merge the Functionals and van Esch product ranges. Most products will remain available. We will bid farewell to a small selection. We will also launch a number of new colours. Curious? Check the range here

The brand promise 

The new Functionals brand promise is: ‘Organising Places’. We believe that comfortable working and living starts with a tidy and orderly environment. Because a well-organised space creates peace and quiet, around you and in your head. Functionals ensures a workspace, house, dressing room, reception area, cloakroom or showroom works for you with functional and carefully designed products that will last a lifetime.

How it all began

Our story all began in 1972 with van Esch Metaal BV, founded by Hendricus Johannes Wilhelmus (H.J.W.) van Esch.
