3. introduction
The Netherlands’ most sustainable and innovative industrial
park. That difficult-to-measure label is what we hope to attain.
Industriepark Kleefse Waard (Kleefse Waard Industrial Park; IPKW) is
a vital community of and for companies that want to contribute to a
sustainable world. We look beyond borders (literally and figuratively),
place a high value on quality and want to maintain what is good
in the world. Area and building development and offering shared
facilities has enabled us to connect users and to create a community.
We don’t just share knowledge; we share (residual) products, waste
and energy. In doing so, we are working on a circular system. This
has both economic and ecological advantages, and offers added
value for parties to opt for a location at the park.
We do all of this with the resources we have at our disposal. The
project is self-supporting and works as a revolving fund. For over ten
years it has worked - sometimes faster, sometimes more slowly - but
we always continue to invest and innovate. We would be happy to
make you part of our story.

the main
cornerstones:
1. area
development
2. community
building
3. circularity
These cornerstones are explained in
this booklet, along with several great
projects that show our ambition and
vision for IPKW.
IPKW in the ‘40s

4. IPKW in the
old days
From 1940 to 1969, the functionality of the
production process reflected the General
Rayon Union (AKU) factory complex.
From 1969 onwards, this was the AKZO
grounds, a place for new developments.
From 1980 onwards, AKZO’s focus on RD
gradually decreased (and AKZO took over
Nobel Industries in 1994).
The production and manufacturing industry
moved abroad more and more and the area
became outdated.
In 2003, Schipper Bosch took over the
grounds and started Industriepark
Kleefse Waard.

The LB building before the redevelopment, with window casings
that are largely damaged and not energy-efficient and a messy
front parking lot.
Dilapidated vacant building.
LB building, redeveloped with new window casings and a renovated
front parking lot with an innovative ChargingPlaza.
Modern, sustainable building, with sustainable use of the original
building in the redevelopment. The building was made sustainable
though the use of concrete core activation, the large windows combined
with solar heat storage and movement, air circulation between the
original outer wall and the new indoor façade and the natural draft in the
chimney, which will be used for air circulation.
1. sustainable redevelopment
of the buildings and
surrounding area
High-end buildings and surroundings mean high-end companies. When we bought
the park, we categorized the buildings into those with historical value, those with
economic value and those without value.
We kept the buildings with economic value, but these will be replaced on the long
term. Buildings with historical value will be renovated one by one and refurbished for
new tenants. This will maintain the monumental look of the park, while ensuring that
all aspects of the building (climatology, interior, look and feel) meet users’ modern
wishes and requirements. Buildings and units without value will be removed.
Buildings with historical value with no new allocation will be temporarily allocated.

7. Gatehouse before

work environment
Gatehouse after
Gatehouse in 2003, unclear for visitors and doormen, not
a welcoming atmosphere.
Gatehouse now, very clear and welcoming through its all-
glass bottom layer, an eye-catcher through its color-changing
(depending on the light) top layer, built on the foundations of the
original building.
Planting around 100 trees over the years and another 100 in
the coming year, freeing more and more usable land (such as
by planting hemp to replace cotton and purifying water through
vegetation) and a higher quality of experience. This is how we work
on an inspiring and green work environment for all IPKWers.
HB building before HB building after
HB building and the main street in 2003, with messy shrubs, individual
parking spaces, messy signing, no easily accessible entrance, no
walking path in the main street, but with nice window casings and an
industrial look and feel.
HB building interior in 2003, with old-fashioned ceilings, carpeting,
cable ducts and lighting.
HB building and the main street now, with neat, clear signing (on
signs and on the building), an accessible entrance, cleaned, with an
improved look and feel just by means of trees, a walking path and
grass between the road and the building.
HB building interior now, with modern furnishings and an industrial
look and feel created by freeing the columns, exposing the ventilation
pipes, installing bathrooms as a box in a box (at the back right),
renovating the window casings, cable ducts, and carpeting, and
installing lighting with an industrial look and feel.

2. a bustling
cleantech
community
IPKW is more than a place to work. It’s a place to
be. Where you get together and share knowledge.
The facilities contribute to that; they provide a
stimulus and make it easier to get together.

Collaboration with Veolia: companies are no
longer only consumers; they’re also suppliers
of energy and utilities. IPKW offers the following
utilities via Veolia:
- Heat
- Electricity
- Steam at various pressure levels up to 100 tons p/h
- Natural gas
- Network maintenance
- Various qualities of water
- Refrigeration
- Compressed air
- Waste water purification
- Condensate
- Inspections

11. circular thinking
sustainability
revolving fund
direct inclusion of surrounding area
security
building redevelopment
LB building renovation
example:
Our mother company Schipper Bosch is a private area
developer, so we do not have an unlimited flow of funds.
That means that we redevelop step by step, and that
things often progress gradually. Maintaining our vision
(with a certain amount of patience) in the meantime is what
makes us progressive. Attracting new tenants from time
to time accelerates the process. Once we have at least
one tenant for a (vacant) building, we start redeveloping.
When redeveloping a building, we include the direct
surroundings. Redeveloping a building and the locations
of the parties involved make a building appealing to more
new tenants, which increases rent income. With that money,
we can redevelop the next building (including its direct
surroundings); every euro is reinvested.

redevelop

12. co-creation
We promote co-creation within and from
several different fields such as the creative
industry and the manufacturing industry.
For example by offering an enthusiastic club of
young, well-known (product) designers a space
at the center of the grounds as a temporary
location (the HE building). We also do so
in collaborative projects with organizations
including ArtEZ and HAN University of Applied
Sciences.
The Greenhouse
cleantech
incubator
Industry is innovating through startups,
education and ideas more and more.
Life cycle thinking among users is important
for the sustainability of the area.
Startups can grow and develop at the park.
Every year, we invest in the Greenhouse,
which in turn provides dynamism, products,
collaborations and potential new (major)
tenants.
Greenhouse went from zero to fifteen startups
in three years’ time.

13. taking the lead
We like to take the lead in developments
that concern more than just ourselves.
For example, we created the Clean Mobility
Center: a European center for business
innovation in sustainable mobility which will
cover the entire region. With companies
including Allego and EL-KW, we initiated a
plan which more and more parties are joining.
manufacturing
location
Originally, this was a manufacturing industry
location. For example with a focus on fibers,
mobility and wood refinement. We want to
grow in that area and we want to allow the
manufacturing companies to grow as well. We
do so by offering them space, by working with
Veolia to optimally facilitate and by connecting
them to each other and to creative, knowledge-
intensive companies at the park. It enables us to
all work together towards an Eco-Industrial Park.

14. social
responsibility
We feel that we have a social responsibility for
our surroundings. For example in the Laat maar
Waaien (‘Let the wind blow’) project, in which
600 Gelderland elementary school students
built 150 real working 6-meter high miniature
windmills. Or in the Technology Day, which we
organized to get children and young people
interested in a job in technology.
room for
development
At IPKW, we offer space for testing and
development. For example, we installed a
test field, where the miniature windmills, solar
panels and an innovative data-processing
container were set up for the Hipersense
project. With this system, we are providing
a reliable energy and data solution in remote
areas lacking infrastructure, but also in densely
populated areas with an overtaxed network.

16. “With the courage and vision that go along with
the professional feeling with which he gives the
industrial park a promising vision for the future,
the commissioner is a true entrepreneur. First
and foremost, it is an innovative, entrepreneurial
approach. That is what makes entrepreneurship
complete, as it involves both well-chosen
spatial interventions and a strong, future-
oriented program. Industriepark Kleefse Waard
has set a new standard for industrial parks.”
Winner Judges’ Report
Minister Plasterk presenting the Gold Pyramid
IPKW won the Gold Pyramid in late 2015.
Commissioners of innovative and inspiring
projects in the Netherlands are considered
for the Gold Pyramid, in the theme of area
development. The award is an initiative
of the Ministry of Infrastructure and the
Environment, the Ministry of Education,
Culture and Science and the Ministry of the
Interior and Kingdom Relations.
For us, the Gold Pyramid is an
acknowledgement of our years of (re)
development, in terms of both the area, the
buildings and our contacts. It’s something
we are very proud of. And at the same time,
we feel like we’ve only just got started.
