We are excited to announce the promotion of Erik Berens to managing director. After two years as commercial director, Berens will now steer Peblar’s expanding international business, building on a decade-long track record of leading high-growth teams across Europe.

 

A clear mandate for sustainable, insight-led expansion

Peblar’s board selected Berens for his proven ability to combine commercial rigour with market insight, ensuring growth is sustainable, disciplined and customer-centric. Under his commercial leadership, Peblar:

  • Achieved double-digit revenue growth across five European markets while maintaining industry-leading customer satisfaction scores.

  • Launched a next-generation product roadmap, entirely manufactured in the Netherlands, that accelerates installation times and lowers total cost of ownership for operators.

  • Built a pan-European partner network that prioritises long-term value over short-term volume.

 

Made in the Netherlands

A fundamental strategy for Peblar is to keep manufacturing of its chargers in the Netherlands today and in the future. Berens said: “Our product quality is non-negotiable. We will continue to produce Peblar chargers at our world-class engineering, design and manufacturing facilities here in the Brainport area, the heart of technology in the Netherlands.”

Strategic priorities

  1. International market focus
    Peblar will deepen its presence in Western Europe while selectively entering high-potential new regions.
  2. Sustainable, profitable growth
    Berens’ approach prioritises disciplined market selection and measured expansion, reinforcing Peblar’s commitment to a sustainable financial performance and enduring customer relationships.
  3. Relentless product innovation
    For Peblar, innovation isn’t just a checkbox, it’s a responsibility. The product roadmap reflects this. Berens knows the next wave of relevance will come from not just what we build, but how well it works for real-world professionals in the field.

Putting people and partners first

Berens emphasised that Peblar’s culture of insight and collaboration remains central to success. “The best ideas come from those closest to the challenge,” he noted. “My role is to orchestrate that insight into focused action, keeping our teams connected, our partners empowered and our customers ahead of the curve.”
