Electro Verbeke boosts Fronnt’s charging and MV capacity
On April 25, 2023, Gimv announced a major expansion for Fronnt—adding Electro Verbeke alongside key specialists Van Vooren/Setec and TAC!—in a move designed to accelerate the group’s energy-transition impact. This build-out followed 2022’s foundational mergers and set Fronnt on track for national delivery across electro and HVAC, with Verbeke’s expertise in total concepts, intelligent charging, medium voltage, and smart site integration.
Strategic Why
Modern clients—industrial, commercial and public—expect one accountable partner for design, installation and aftercare in projects blending electrics, HVAC, security, and automation. Electro Verbeke brings that core: medium voltage, charging, data cabling, switchgear, lighting, and security disciplines that touch every other trade on site. Its integration into Fronnt radically strengthens the group's national flexibility and quality standards, shortening project schedules and reducing risk at the interfaces of complex multi-technique jobs.

As part of Fronnt, Electro Verbeke slots seamlessly into a platform that preserves local identity but leverages scale in procurement, talent, and digital delivery—making the group a robust, resilient player ready for further energy-transition opportunities.
