40 years of Deba, 40 years of medium voltage
Deba nv started in 1979 as an installer of medium-voltage switchgear and later evolved into the manufacturer of medium-voltage switchgear. In 2010, the company split into several separate companies, each with its own specialization. The umbrella, family-owned holding company Het Veer nv is now celebrating that 40th anniversary with several works of art.
For those artworks, HetVeer collaborated with Kunstbaan, an organization that connects businesses with the social sector. This allowed some adults with disabilities to unleash their creativity on some leftover material from from the production of medium voltage components.
