The IPCOM history
Innovative distributor and manufacturer
IPCOM was founded in Belgium in 2010 as a joint initiative of Waterland PE and Waeyaert-Vermeersch Isolatie. Through both organic growth and a number of successful strategic acquisitions, IPCOM quickly achieved its position as the market leader in building and technical insulation in Belgium.
Following an ambitious acquisition strategy, IPCOM systematically expanded its geographical footprint and became a leading technical insulation distributor in North-Western Europe.
