our mission

Customer satisfaction

Our mission as the Van Laecke Group is to strive for maximum customer satisfaction. As a family-run SME, we aim to achieve this by providing an excellent after-sales service. In addition, we work exclusively with specialist suppliers who bring strong premium brands to the market and are committed to producing only top-quality machinery.

Tailored to the
customer’s needs

Our many years of experience, combined with our positive and dynamic approach, ensure that customers receive every possible form of support throughout the machine purchasing process. Our experienced sales staff work closely with customers to find bespoke solutions to recycling challenges. We don’t sell machines; we sell solutions.

Strong service department

Once the sale is complete, an experienced and dedicated team of staff is on hand to assist customers with advice and support, thereby ensuring minimal downtime. At our branch in Zedelgem, we maintain a very large stock of spare parts so that we can assist you promptly. The combination of excellent brands, our staff’s expertise and minimal downtime ensures a very high level of operational reliability and customer satisfaction.

Long term

As a family-run business, we place great importance on high-quality, long-term relationships, both with our staff and with our customers. We achieve this through a management team that is approachable and a corporate culture in which genuine personal attention is paid to the individual behind the staff member and the customer. We greatly value the personal input of our staff, and in this way we create a working environment with a strong focus on initiative, respect and personal responsibility.

history of the company

2025

Celebration of VLG’s 35th anniversary

2022

In 2022, Van Laecke Machines and Marcom Recycling will be moving from Schatting 8 to Remi Claeysstraat 66 in Zedelgem. We have deliberately chosen a business site that is fully tailored to our customers, staff and business activities. A large, central site covering 25,000 m² and new offices will provide the space needed to work efficiently and thus serve our customers even better.

2013

In 2013, Marcom Recycling acquired the Dutch company Van Bemmel Machine-Import. Since its foundation in 1990, Van Bemmel Machine-Import has successfully specialised in machinery for wood recycling and compost production, and has been operating as Van Bemmel Recycling since 2013.

Together with Van Laecke Machines, formerly Luc Van Laecke, the umbrella organisation Van Laecke Group was established. Within the Benelux, these three members offer a diversified and complementary range of recycling, earth-moving and agricultural machinery.

2001

Marcom Recycling was founded in 2001 and quickly made its mark on the recycling market with an extensive range of machinery for processing construction waste, asphalt, stone and related materials.

1990

In 1990, Luc Van Laecke and his wife Ingrid set up a business selling and servicing tractors and harvesters, and subsequently expanded this to include excavators and other earth-moving machinery.
