Westermo Strengthens European Presence with New Benelux Office to Support Growth in Energy and Rail Sectors

Västerås, October 30, 2025 – Westermo is pleased to announce the continued expansion of its European operations with the establishment of a dedicated office serving the Benelux region. As a leading designer and manufacturer of industrial networking, wireless and cellular hardware and software for mission-critical data communications in demanding environments, Westermo is committed to delivering exceptional local support to clients across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. The new Benelux office, strategically located in the Netherlands, will enable Westermo to better serve key vertical markets – including energy, rail, water and wastewater, and maritime sectors – by providing robust, reliable industrial networking solutions tailored to the unique requirements of these industries. Arne Kloosterman, an experienced international sales and business development director has been named as managing director of Westermo Benelux. This expansion is driven in part by the rapid growth of the renewable energy sector in the region, where government-backed infrastructure initiatives have accelerated investments in wind, solar, and energy storage projects in both the Netherlands and Belgium. Reflecting this trend, Westermo has recently experienced increased demand and secured significant contracts for energy grid modernization and power distribution connectivity. Additionally, ongoing Rail market investments in ERTMS/ETCS deployments, and fleet renewals throughout Benelux, are fuelling strong demand for advanced rail signalling and onboard train communication networks. Westermo networking equipment is already deployed across various train fleets in the Netherlands and Belgium, underscoring the company’s reputation for domain expertise, quality and reliability. With a workforce exceeding 500 employees and global sales surpassing 120 million EUR, Westermo continues to invest in research, development, and manufacturing at its facilities in Stora Sundby and Västerås, Sweden, as well as at technology centers in Dublin, Ireland, Mainz and Laer, Germany, and Bubikon, Switzerland.
