XPRT Celebrates its 25th Anniversary
XPRT, a pioneer in online B2B marketplaces, is celebrating its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of revolutionizing how industries connect and collaborate. Founded in 1999 by CEO Maarten Van Donk, a former environmental engineer, XPRT rapidly became a global leader in connecting buyers and suppliers in various niche markets.
The journey began with the launch of www.environmental-expert.com, a groundbreaking platform designed to link engineers and industry buyers with cleantech suppliers for their specific project needs. Building on this success, XPRT has expanded its reach by introducing three additional niche marketplaces: www.agriculture-xprt.com, catering to agritech professionals; www.energy-xprt.com, serving the energy tech sector; and the latest addition, www.medical-xprt.com, assisting healthcare professionals in sourcing medtech solutions.
"At XPRT, our vision has always been to create permanent, online trade shows for the industries we cover," remarked Mr. Van Donk. "Our mission is to facilitate seamless connections between buyers and suppliers, fostering innovation across diverse sectors and geographical markets."
Over the past two and a half decades, XPRT has witnessed exponential growth, now boasting a thriving community of over 70,000 suppliers and attracting more than 800,000 buyers from around the globe. This remarkable achievement wouldn`t have been possible without the unwavering support of the dedicated buyers and suppliers who have contributed to XPRT`s success.
"As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the buyers and suppliers who have been part of the XPRT community," said Van Donk. "Your trust and collaboration have been instrumental in shaping XPRT into the thriving platform it is today."
Looking ahead, XPRT remains committed to ensuring seamless interactions between buyers and suppliers. For example, XPRT is currently rolling out AI-driven chatbots to streamline communication between buyers and suppliers, facilitating quicker and more meaningful interactions.
As XPRT embarks on its next chapter, the company remains steadfast in its commitment to driving progress and fostering connections that propel industries forward into a digital future of boundless possibilities.
