great company,
tremendous dedication! "
The beginning
VDH Photo-Import was founded in Belgium in 1991 by Katrien Vanderhaegen as a daughter company of Vanderhaegen Bvba (founded in 1971).
At that time Katrien was still studying at Solvay's Business school at the University of Brussels (U.L.B.).
Katrien graduated in 1993  and decided to continue importing photographic equipment, mainly for the Professional market.

Her Department rapidly expanded and Katrien worked hard to give her company an image of reliability.  The client-friendly atmosphere of VDH Photo-Import helped her to enforce an already excellent relationship with her customers.

The product lines she distributes are constantly growing and so does her business.  She is the exclusive distributor for High-end products from the US and Europe.

Ready for New Century
September 1998.  A new, independant, company is founded by Katrien enabling her to merge her department with the company called "Belgian Minilab Supplies. 
The new company is called VDH Photo-Supplies.  On top of the already succesfull lines this company now distributes products such as Tokina lenses, NOVA darkroom equipment etc...
VDH Photo Supplies is now one of the major Photo distributors in Belgium
