Wasco is a leading name in the central heating industry in the Netherlands. More than 5,000 installation companies across the country rely on Wasco’s products, service, logistics and delivery.

The company was founded in 1970 as a sole proprietorship, based in a barn. It’s now a household name – a professional wholesaler of heating, plumbing and parts, with 26 branches and four bathroom showrooms across the country.

Wasco is made up of four specialised companies.

Wasco’s wholesale business supplies products for central heating, sanitary appliances, plumbing materials and gas and oil components.

Wasco’s parts business supplies a full range of spare parts for central heating systems, plumbing, gas and fuel oil pumps. It carries over 15,000 items in stock and provides all the tools and materials needed for installation.

Saris BV provides a broad range of oil-fired and burner components, boiler components and all related installation materials.

The Wasco Energy Centre was established in 2000. It showcases the latest sustainable products from a range of vendors. The Centre also runs theme days and workshops on renewable energy. Customers can get advice on technical issues and help with grant applications.

Wasco was acquired by Wolseley in 2002.
