Ewald Jagdew

Ceramic Guru

​Ewald has a background in finance. After working for the Rabobank for a period of eight years Ewald decided to switch to working fulltime with cars in 2017. He decided to convert his hobby into his work. With a lot of passion and dedication he performs his work on a daily base. 
 
Ewald has had a love for cars since a young age. Since receiving his driving license at the age of eighteen Ewald has been working with cars. It started with buying cars, giving them a complete make-over and selling them to customers
 
He started with a small office in Wormerveer, that was primarily used for selling cars. Quickly, the company grew and started providing extra services like polishing cars. He noticed the demand for polishing cars was huge and started working with car companies in the area. Ewald became successful in this area of expertise but realized the car business could be done far more efficient. 
 
Ewald quickly made a name for himself in the car detailing in the Netherlands and was approached by Ceramic Pro in 2018. He was given the opportunity to found Ceramic Pro in the Netherlands. This ultimately led to his decision to stop selling cars and to continue his career with Ceramic Pro in late 2018. Within a year, Ewald contracted the biggest and most exclusive car company in Europe named Louwman Exclusive as Ceramic Pro dealer. Now in 2021, Ceramic Pro Netherlands has 13 dealers/installers connected to Ceramic Pro that are certified to use the Ceramic Pro products.

By focus on the customer, Johan has proven that the need for a service model for car number 3 and 4 can be successful anywhere, even in Nuland – Noord Brabant.
