‘We don’t sell products, we offer architects solutions’

Jorrit Scheepers has been with Euramax for many years, most recently as an Architectural Advisor for North West Europe. However, he sees his role a little differently: ‘I consider myself more of a Business Developer and a partner for my customers. We add value in the chain co-creating successful projects with investors, architects, façade builders and panel manufacturers, helping to position Euramax as the best choice in the Architectural Products (AP) business.’ Over the years, he has done so for Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, Isala hospital in Meppel, Royal Christiania Hotel in Oslo, Residential Scheme Wirral Waters in Liverpool, and many more.

In short
  • Jorrit focuses on the Architectural Projects (AP) business
  • He is on your side, providing unique architectural solutions
  • With coil-coated aluminium, we offer both the widest range of cladding panels and unlimited colour options

Jorrit Scheepers has been with Euramax for many years, most recently as an Architectural Advisor for North West Europe. However, he sees his role a little differently: ‘I consider myself more of a Business Developer and a partner for my customers. We add value in the chain co-creating successful projects with investors, architects, façade builders and panel manufacturers, helping to position Euramax as the best choice in the Architectural Products (AP) business.’ Over the years, he has done so for Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, Isala hospital in Meppel, Royal Christiania Hotel in Oslo, Residential Scheme Wirral Waters in Liverpool, and many more.

Customisation for the architecture industry

With more than 25 years of experience, Jorrit knows what he is talking about. What drives him is his passion to make the most out of every project. His work goes beyond simply visiting architects: he wants to add value directly, whether for an architect, façade builder, or client.

‘Every project is different. That’s why we don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions. We listen, connect, and develop creative answers to the questions at hand. This is how we build lasting relationships and deliver exceptional projects.’

Inspire architects

Despite Euramax aluminium being a versatile and stylish solution for the architectural world, many architects are not yet familiar with the possibilities and technical details of coil coating. That is why Jorrit not only wants to inspire them but also provides clear explanations. ‘For many architects, façade design starts with shapes and colours—but the real challenge lies in the execution. How do you translate a design into a façade that is technically feasible, aesthetically powerful and sustainable? Euramax offers that solution, thanks to advanced coil coating.’

The power of coil coating

What we at Euramax know all too well is that coil coating is the invisible engine behind modern architecture. 'The advantage is that our panels are colour-coated first and then formed. This guarantees consistent colour and maximum quality.' Jorrit has delivered on that promise before in various projects. Take Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. The iconic Ferrari red roof has been in place for nearly 18 years, enduring maximum UV exposure and sandblasting, yet it still retains its original, vibrant colour.

Endless possibilities

In the architectural world, Jorrit also recognises the rapid pace at which market trends evolve and shift, and the influence of market frontrunners. We respond to this with the endless possibilities offered by coil coating. 'We developed AluNatur as a transparent coating. If architects want more dynamic façades, we specifically recommend duo-tone effects. Most importantly, we can provide customised solutions for every project.'

We did exactly that for the Isala hospital in Meppel. 'The architects had a clear vision — until we showed them the possibilities of our coil coating. They ended up opting for two custom project colours, and the building went on to win the MDG Architecture Prize.'
