Our roots

The history of Cryns dates back to 1944, when Louis Cryns established the first branch in the Zwaardstraat in Antwerp. Louis Cryns and his brother Henry generated the first rapid growth of the bodywork, which soon made the first building too small. As a result, they decided to open a second branch. 

 

  • 1964. The roads of brothers Louis and Henry separate. Henry continues the body shop in the Coveliersstraat, Louis and his son Ronald in De Wittestraat.
  • 1980. The branch in De Wittestraat expands with a spray booth with 3 preparation zones and a Korek alignment floor.
  • 1982. Son Ronald takes over the company.
  • 1993. Move to the current location in the Vredebaan in Mortsel.
  • 1994. The quality of Cryns results in a 100 % sales increase. 
  • 1995. Cryns Bodywork Centre obtains the ISO-9002 certificate.
  • 2003. The second branch in Zwijndrecht Westpoort opens. 

In 2011 Johan Van Deursen took over Cryns Bodywork Centre from Ronald Cryns. He was able to build upon the already acquired strong reputation of Cryns in Antwerp. Van Deursen strengthened Cryns' growth strategy through thorough digitization and further acquisitions. For example, Cryns not only offers its well-known quality for private individuals, we also offer a strong solution for professional fleets.
