Queen Máxima visits JC-Electronics

On April 1st 2026, we had the honor of welcoming Her Majesty Queen Máxima to JC-Electronics in Leek. During her visit, we provided a behind-the-scenes look at how we bring circularity to life every day.

From the refurbishment of industrial electronics in our Technical Service department to cutting-edge repair innovation in R&D and hands-on training in our JC-Training Centre, Her Majesty experienced the full scope of our work. She saw how we extend product lifespan, preserve valuable materials, and invest in technical talent.

A highlight was seeing how a used industrial drive is transformed step by step into a reliable, fully refurbished product, ready for a second or even longer life. This approach helps reduce the use of raw materials, water consumption, and CO₂ emissions.

The visit concluded with a roundtable discussion on labour participation in the circular economy, where the message was clear: circular progress requires both technological innovation and skilled, motivated people.

We are proud to show that circular business is not only the future — it is already happening!
