After selling the company in 2002, he established Anzi Sinolink Europe BV together with Shanghai Anzi Industrial Ltd., focusing on distributing blind rivets in Europe. The company merged with Formaparts Europe BV, another of Jan’s ventures, to form Qonnect BV in 2017. Qonnect has since become a significant contributor to the fastening industry under Jan's leadership. Jan currently serves on the advisory committee, helping to guide Telyos Group's growth.

He has traveled across Europe, directly engaging with customers, and has played a critical role in managing relationships with suppliers in China.
