HISTORY

In 1968, Robert Van Erum starts his own business and closes a deal with the German company Weyel to start the distribution of school boards in Belgium. The Weyel brand was famous for their collection of real glass-based school boards at that time. Already in 1972, a production line for school boards is set up, the first step of building the Vanerum brand.

Over the years other companies are acquired and the focus shifts to design and production of the complete classroom, including school furniture.

In 1996 Robert’s son, Gert Van Erum, became the new CEO of the company and started integrating more technological solutions like projectors and interactive whiteboards, and thus completing what ultimately would be a modern classroom. This eventually led to the creation of a spin off: I3 Technologies, with self-designed, developed and produced, hard- & software.
