mySun: 'Orange stands for resourcefulness'

Historically, orange has been the most commonly chosen color for awning fabric. For Paul de Bruijn of mySun, it is also the color of Dutch entrepreneurial spirit. "For us, orange stands for how we deal with change and seize opportunities precisely in that," he says. "Whether it's big topics like climate and BENG legislation or how we approach local markets shoulder to shoulder with our dealers, interesting new opportunities always arise. The golden years of solar shading may be behind us, but the most meaningful ones are just around the corner." 

Over the years, solar shading has changed, De Bruijn observes. "From building screens in sheds to assembling them in large halls and from choosing from a few products to a full range. Manufacturers have grown rapidly. Some have fallen over or been taken over to be run now by managers and shareholders. But in Gouda we just stayed put! Of course a lot has changed here too, but we still achieve our growth based on a corporate culture of working together. This is reflected in how we deal with our customers and how we help them move forward with our knowledge, services and smart products." 

Is the future in screens also orange?

"Yes indeed!" states De Bruijn. "Also in the field of BENG, mySun profiles itself as a serious partner that can offer solid project solutions. Screens play an important role in this. BENG offers additional opportunities and that is precisely what challenges us to be resourceful. How can we do things smarter? How can we be of greater added value to projects? The answers to these questions are clear to us for us and we are happy to share them with our customers." 

myZip Connect

Another stronghold of mySun is myZip Connect, the paired screen that De Bruijn says is installed as easily as a single screen. "Innovation that the dealer directly experiences the benefit of. In production, transport, installation as well as in maintenance, especially when it comes to large numbers of screens." 

"For all those parties who are really looking for meaningful cooperation and a Dutch product, the door is always open over a cup of coffee to discuss the possibilities," says Paul de Bruijn. "We are not the 'Shades of Holland' for nothing!" ■
