The Eindhoven Ice Rink has been a beloved destination for both recreational skaters and elite athletes for decades. With its rich history and numerous national competitions, it is an icon in Dutch speed skating. During the renovation of the facility, VDL played a key role in creating comfortable, sustainable, and low-maintenance grandstands.

When technology becomes visible in public spaces, the foundation must be invisibly strong. This is exactly where VDL Sports Projects excels. For partners like Q-lite, a specialist in digital information and scoreboard systems, VDL produces the supporting structures, masts, and frames needed to securely, stably, and durably install their technology, from sports stadiums to urban locations.

The iconic Thialf in Heerenveen has been the premier ice temple of the Netherlands for decades. Countless top speed skaters have made history here, cheered on by thousands of fans in the stands. During Thialf’s comprehensive modernization, one goal was central: to provide the audience with the same world-class experience as the athletes on the ice. VDL Sports Projects played a key role in achieving this.

When a temporary connection is a matter of life and death, such as at events, emergencies, or infrastructure failures, technology and speed must come together. This was the case in a recent project by SPIE Nederland in Aalten, where a fully operational emergency 5G communication mast was installed in record time.

In close cooperation with leading partners, VDL HMI produces high-quality structural components that make their way to the world’s largest events. From international music festivals to major sporting spectacles and large-scale shows, VDL’s products form the invisible yet essential backbone behind impressive stages and temporary infrastructures.
