Private lesson by Adelinde Cornelisse

Adelinde Cornelisse is currently one of the Netherlands most successful dressage riders. With her horse Parzival, she was a member of the Dutch national team at the Peking and London Olympic Games. In London, she was a reserve, but in Peking she took part in the team competition, in which she won bronze together with Anky van Grunsven and Edward Gal. In the individual competition, she succeeded in winning silver. Plospan has sponsored Adelinde for some time and supports her in triumphant sporting career.

Hats off to Adelinde
In return for the sponsoring, Adelinde agreed to give a select group of Plospan customers a private dressage lesson. Riding their own horses, a total of six eager customers took part in a serious training session lasting 45 minutes in which Adelinde gave them helpful directions and concrete tips matched to their individual level that they could put into practice straight away. The training session was a stunning success.

Enthusiasm and passion
Adelinde thought that the training session was a huge success and was amazed by the enthusiasm and passion of the student riders. The 6 Plospan customers were impressed by the professionalism and the practical tips and directions that immediately enabled them to improve their dressage skills. The event was hugely enjoyable and hats off to Adelinde for giving our customers such an unforgettable evening.

Solar panels, solar panels and even more solar panels!

From September to mid November 2015, the Xperal firm from Nederweert fitted a total of 9,240 solar panels on the roofs of the buildings at Plomp & Zonen BV’s company premises. It was a huge job, but now every square metre of roof is being utilised to its maximum potential.

Completely energy-self-sufficient
The result is that Plomp & Zonen BV has become completely energy self-sufficient. The solar panels generate a total output of 2.4 megawatts, which is enough to meet the energy requirements of 5,800 households per year. The solar panels on the roofs of the company buildings generate more energy than Plomp & Zonen BV needs for its own operations. This means that all the energy all the energy superfluous to the company’s own requirements is fed into the power grid. In this way, the company contributes to renewable energy and a cleaner environment not only for itself, but also for the local community.

SDE subsidy
For this socially responsible project, Plomp & Zonen BV obtained a subsidy under the Sustainable Energy Production Incentive (SDE) scheme. The Dutch government set up an 8-billion euro fund in 2015 to help businesses like Plomp & Zonen BV generate clean energy from solar panels.
