We look back with pride, but at the same time look forward, towards new challenges, in the next 80 years to come.  

The history of ERIKS encompasses more than ERIKS' own stories. Through many acquisitions, ERIKS was enriched with the histories and experience of other companies such as Econosto and Vemoflex. From 1979 until 2000 ERIKS, expanded into other European countries, Asia and the USA and added electrical power transmission, valves, hoses and couplings and industrial plastics to the range of products.

From 2000 until 2015, ERIKS acquired several specialized distribution and manufacturing companies in Europe, including large organizations such as Baudoin in Belgium and Wyko in the United Kingdom. With the acquisition of Lewis-Goetz, Rawson and Industrial Controls, ERIKS strengthened its market position in the US.

In 2009, ERIKS was incorporated by SHV Holdings, a privately-held family company. This ended the listing of ERIKS NV on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. SHV invests for the long term, expanding and developing businesses and providing their customers with excellent products and services.

As a leading-edge supplier to industry, ERIKS recognizes the role it plays in the supply chain and in society as a whole. Present-day views on sustainability and corporate social responsibility are anchored in our strategy and operational management.
