About

“Jan Van Zep”, your Industrial Cleaning & Maintenance expert. Pragmatic and hands-on problem-solver looking back on over 40 years of experience in the field. Still seeing every day as "Day One", I always look to identify superior solutions and opportunities together with you: new applications, straight on. I am an Expert Sales coach & Field Sales trainer and proud ZEP Europe employee since the early days. Started from scratch in 1981 as a 23 year old rookie salesman on the road for RDI (Research Development Industries), and I was one of the 1000 employees in eight countries across Europe under the holding "Graham International" (Witco Chemical Corp) owned by the great Frederick Graham (†2015 at 99Y) which at the age of 76 sold his Company to ZEP. That's the moment another still living Legend, the first ZEP Sales Director Harry Maziar (who made ZEP great in America) was presented as President of ZEP in 1992 following this acquisition. ZEP "Clean Across America and Throughout The World" became our slogan ever since and I am still very proud to be able to participate in this legacy to date.
