Back to then<\/h1>\n

We would like to take you through the fascinating history of our company and introduce you to the important moments and achievements that have made us what we are today. Vonk B.V. was founded in November 1973 under the name Helders Clarson. Our first product was the Dynalite, a large 6D hand lantern. Meanwhile, in 1976, the foundation of Pelican\u2122 Products was laid in a shed in the US.<\/p>\n

The origins of Peli\u2122<\/h2>\n

Founder Dave Parker, together with his wife Arline, discovered the demand for robust lamps and cases for divers, among others. The products had to have a high degree of durability, reliability and quality. First up was the Pelican\u2122 Float, the legendary and indestructible SabreLite\u2122. The very first Pelican\u2122 Protector Case, model 1500, followed shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n

The collaboration with Peli\u2122<\/h2>\n

Vonk B.V. started in November 1989 with the first import of Pelican\u2122 products, namely a box of MityLites\u2122 and SabreLites\u2122. Over the years, catalogs with suitcases depicted in them were also published. This created the demand for suitcases. The first load of suitcases by air freight cost as much as the transport and import duties combined. This period ended in 1997 with a 40″ and 20″ sea container. From then on, Pelican\u2122 Products will continue from Barcelona under the name Peli\u2122 Products<\/a>.<\/p>\n

High-quality range<\/h2>\n

Our many years of collaboration with Pelican\u2122 and Peli\u2122 ensured that expertise in this area has become an important part of our service. We have a wide range of products from this high-quality brand. In addition to the Peli\u2122 Protector<\/a>, Peli\u2122 Storm<\/a> and Peli\u2122 AIR cases<\/a>, the range also includes the Peli\u2122 lamps<\/a>, Peli\u2122 RALS<\/a> products and Peli\u2122 Hardigg\u2122<\/a> products.<\/p>\n

Custom interiors<\/h2>\n

In addition to our specialization in suitcases and packaging, Vonk B.V. has also developed in relieving relationships. We offer specialist custom interiors and other adjustments that look perfect on both the inside and outside. High quality is central here.<\/p>\n

Mobile lighting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vonk B.V. also has a role in the world of mobile lighting. has gone through quite an evolution. From incandescent lamps to the current LED lamps. Explosion-proof (ATEX) lightin<\/a>g<\/a> plays a major role in the developments. Contrary to our company name, we attach great importance to safety.<\/p>\n
