ZEST-Innovate
Your Partner In High Tech Tooling And Special Machine Construction
Thinking and doing. Develop, build and test in our own workshop.
About us
It is our mission to develop high-tech systems and devices for third parties with the greatest possible responsibility for the successful outcome.
The development we carry out today must be the success of tomorrow. And this trust often has a much greater value than the size of our assignments. This certainly applies to the risk that our customers take to pre-invest in the new developments that they outsource to us.
We are happy to share that risk with our clients. With innovative business models that reach further so that the success of our customers also becomes our success and therefore our success also becomes theirs.
Mission & Vision
ZEST-Innovate attaches great importance to collaboration. Both our mission and vision express this.
- Our vision: there is a growing need for collaboration that combines leading knowledge with entrepreneurial spirit.
- Our mission: To develop and build systems and devices with the greatest possible responsibility with a succesful outcome for the customer.
Our important pillars:
High tech tooling and qualification tools for the major system suppliers; Special Machines, especially for the regional plastics industry; Medical equipment; Engineering services.
The specialists
Where we use the most modern technologies, techniques and teamwork with 25 employees to make your ideas a success and translate challenges into solutions. ZEST-Innovate is a people company, the employees make a difference to our company. They are central to our organization.
The founders
We are therefore convinced that by working together more and better at many levels in the chain, we can strengthen and improve each other. Meet Willem and Cyrille.
Willem van Reisen
Willem studied mechanical engineering in Eindhoven. He then worked for 20 years at a large engineering firm. He started there as a draughtsman/constructor and in those years grew to become general manager. In 2012 he – together with his wife Cyrille – started ZEST-Innovate. The success of ZEST-Innovate means that customers are increasingly asking for innovative solutions and candidates are knocking on the door for a nice job.
It is Willem's ambition to help people from ZEST-Innovate to make their technical dreams come true.
Cyrille Gradus
After her studies in nutrition, Cyrille worked for 20 years at a national temporary employment agency in various (regional) management positions. She has been an independent entrepreneur since 2006. First of all as an HR consultant at technical companies.
In 2012, together with Willem van Reisen, she founded Zest and helped expand it into what it is today, a multidisciplinary engineering firm where the employee is central. Cyrille has corporate social responsibility high on the agenda.
Her motto is to achieve something you just need to do it!
