Our history

1948

Establishment of the De Spiraal

Shortly after the end of the Second World War, two Stork employees saw a growing shortage of suppliers of parts, including metal wire components such as technical and industrial springs. Responding to this, they founded Verenfabriek De Spiraal and started their business in a small shed next to one of their homes in Hengelo.

1968

First factory on the Industriestraat in Hengelo

Years later, De Spiraal grew into a full-fledged factory with its own production hall at Industriestraat 225 in Hengelo, in the Twentekanaal-Noord industrial park. At the time, this location offered enough space for both staff and machines. During this period, De Spiraal developed into a regionally recognized supplier of springs and wire forms.

2000

Relocation to Spinelstraat 55 and expansion of production capacity

Due to continued growth and the introduction of new, CNC-controlled machines, the location on Industriestraat became too small. In 2000, De Spiraal therefore moved to a modern new building at Spinelstraat 55 in the Twentekanaal-Zuid industrial park. This move involved a significant expansion of the machine park and ushered in a new phase of professionalization and automation.

2002

Establishment of Tribelt

In the same building on Spinelstraat, sister company Tribelt BV was founded in 2002. Under the leadership of former owners Willy Sticker, René Spoelder and René Frielink, the latter with a background in metal conveyor belts, a new course was started.

As a trio, hence the name (Tri) belt, in addition to Verenfabriek De Spiraal, they also specialized in the development and production of metal conveyor belts and were quickly able to position themselves as an innovative player in this niche market.

2015

Relocation to a new location in Haaksbergen

Due to the continued growth of both companies, it was decided in 2015 to move to a significantly larger location at Metaalstraat 9 in Haaksbergen. The new location, with 9,000 m² of production area, 2,000 m² of storage space and 1,000 m² of office space, offered plenty of space for further development. De Spiraal had now established itself as the market leader in the Netherlands, while Tribelt experienced strong international growth.

2019

Takeover by Lesjöfors Group

In 2019, De Spiraal and Tribelt were acquired by the Lesjöfors Group, a Scandinavian market leader in springs and wire products. With this acquisition, both companies became part of a global network of more than 40 sister companies, significantly strengthening their international strength and technological capabilities.

Present

Innovation and collaboration within a global network

Today, De Spiraal and Tribelt operate from their modern location in Haaksbergen. As part of the international Lesjöfors Group, they benefit from global knowledge sharing, technological innovation and synergies with other specialist companies. At the same time, they remain true to their origins: providing high-quality customized solutions in springs, wire forms and metal conveyor belts.
