Vandersanden awarded Platinum label as Best Managed Company

Best managed Companies Award 2024 - Winner Vandersanden

Vandersanden has received the Platinum label, awarded to companies that maintain the Best Managed Companies label for seven consecutive years. The Best Managed Companies programme tests participants each year against a globally tested framework. It recognises private companies that translate a clear strategy, strong competencies and commitment to the business into solid financial results. The jury recognised Vandersanden for its outstanding business performance and awarded it the ultimate Best Managed Companies quality label.

Seventh edition of Best Managed Companies

This year, the Best Managed Companies programme celebrates its seventh edition in Belgium where Deloitte Private, Econopolis and KU Leuven assess the achievements of high performing private companies in the Belgian entrepreneurial landscape. Throughout the process, the companies are guided by a Best Managed Companies coach from Deloitte Private who challenged Vandersanden to reflect on its strategic, operational and financial processes.
