Elements, distributor of sustainable brands such as Patagonia, Osprey and Klean Kanteen, takes another step in its European growth ambitions with the opening of its first showroom outside Belgium.
Social impact
Elements distributes renowned outdoor brands such as Patagonia, Osprey, Klean Kanteen and WakaWaka to independent outdoor stores and large retail chains, including A.S.Adventure and Bever. This year, the company celebrates its 15th anniversary. After building a successful showroom in Edegem near Antwerp, Elements will also open a showroom in the Netherlands later this year: it will be in Maarsbergen, between Utrecht and Veenendaal.
The company wants to grow internationally and increase its social impact. “We founded Elements out of the conviction that distribution and sales can be done better, more consciously and with more responsibility,” says founder Christophe Declercq. Today, this vision is propagated by a team of 21 people across Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany and Austria. In June 2023, Elements became the first distributor in the Benelux to obtain B-Corp certification. As a member of 1% For The Planet, the company already donated €301,223 to more than 20 non-profit organisations.
