Young Belgian entrepreneur focuses on small equipment at attractive prices
Nicolas Maes, Inverma INVERMA is a young and dynamic company based in Wevelgem in the Belgian province of Westflandern, near Kortrijk. The company was founded with the goal in mind to provide its customers with a rental service of “small” equipment at affordable prices and the best service quality. “I founded INVERMA, because from time to time I found myself having to rent a machine extra to the one I had so that we could finish the work. Later I decided to buy some machines and rent them when I was not using them,” said Nicolas Maes in a conversation with Martin Priewe.

It is possible to rent the machines, with or without an operator. Up to now, the rental of the machines is limited to the region, but you can always count on good service and professional expertise. INVERMA offers a wide assortment of machines for rent. For some time now, INVERMA has also been offering the IMPAKTOR 250 evo from ARJES. “It is a very versatile machine with great application potential,” said Nicolas Maes.
Together with his father, Nicolas is also active in earthworks, road construction and civil engineering with the company Grondwerken Maes and uses the ARJES shredder primarily for crushing concrete. In the rental business, however, the machine is used for different types of materials: concrete, bricks, waste, glass, sandwich panels, green waste or cardboard are just a few examples of the numerous feasible applications. “We crush a lot of reinforced concrete consequently we would rent an impact crusher from a Canadian manufacturer, but with we always had problems with the iron. Now, with our ARJES IMPAKTOR 250 evo we don’t have this problem anymore,” comments the young entrepreneur happily. “I bought the machine about a year ago and it has already ran 850 operating hours. If the successful rental of this machine continues, we are convinced that we will buy one machines more next year,” says Nicolas Maes confidently.
