More than 20 years ago, Frans Bouwmeester founded Parhelia B.V. What started as an extension of the activities of a Chicago(USA)-based Export Trading and Management Company has grown into a fully independent business. In the meantime, we’ve built long-term, valuable relationships with European, North American, and Asian manufacturers and partners.
In 2021, a huge fire destroyed our entire company. It was a setback, but not the end of our story! With determination and thanks to the support of our customers and partners, we have rebounded quickly, stronger, and are ready for the future!
This experience reflects what Parhelia stands for: stability, commitment, and the ability to keep building and the drive to establish something that lasts, even under pressure.
Our vision
At Parhelia, we do more than just deliver products. We help our customers find smart, sustainable solutions to keep critical systems running across a wide range of industries.
We offer more than hardware; it’s the partnership we bring to every project. We combine expertise, experience, and genuine interest to approach every project or challenge with care and insight.
We believe partnership is built on trust. Personal attention, quality, reliability, and clear communication are at the heart of everything we do. That’s how we deliver not just solutions, but real added value.
For more than 20 years, Parhelia has been a reliable partner for industrial hardware!
"It's not about what we have, but what you need."
