Kwaliteit waar je op kunt vertrouwen

Euro Mouldings ontstond in 1999 uit een samensmelting

van drie gerenommeerde bedrijven, die ervaring en kennis zeer belangrijk vonden, maar ook complementair waren in hun dienstverlening: Euro BV, Polymij en Ten Cate Mouldings.

Vanaf het nieuwe millennium is op alle mogelijke manieren geïnvesteerd, zowel in de organisatie (management, kennisniveau), als in nieuwe machines. Euro Mouldings maakte een forse groei door en ontwikkelde ook een nieuwe visie op haar dienstverlening: het assortiment duurzame (standaard)producten werd uitgebreid en daarnaast kwam de focus op de ontwikkeling van maatwerk design verpakkingen voor klanten. Veiligheid, duurzaamheid, design en slimme logistiek zijn de pijlers van Euro Mouldings. Het bedrijf heeft zo’n zeventig medewerkers, die voortdurend bijgeschoold, getraind of nieuw opgeleid worden. Euro Mouldings is een erkend leerbedrijf en heeft vrijwel altijd zo’n tien leerlingen gelijktijdig onder contract.

Van 100 milliliter naar 30 liter...

Euro Mouldings heeft bijna 40 blaasmachines en circa 850 artike-

len in haar assortiment, variërend in grootte, afmeting en uitstraling en toepassing (100 milliliter flesjes tot 30 liter jerrycans).

Er is een groot aantal klanten die maatwerkproductie verlangen en dit ontwerpproces gebeurt via een doordachte methode: de ingenieurs van Euro Mouldings spreken met de klant eerst alle wensen voor een product door, waarna een ontwerp wordt gemaakt en - zodra de klant tevreden is - een prototype. Naast kleur en grootte zijn gewicht, omvang en milieuvriendelijkheid belangrijke factoren. Producten kunnen bovendien worden voorzien van eigen label.

We stock your design!

Euro Mouldings’ logistics service, in particular, offers major benefits. Raymond Offenberg: “We ensure that customers do not need their own storage space. Under the motto ‘we stock your design’ we stock products for the customer. These stocks can be supplied at any time under a call-off system. We have a designated warehouse able to accommodate more than 10,000 pallets of finished product.

We stock your design!

Euro Mouldings biedt vooral met haar logistieke services grote voordelen. Het zorgt er

onder het motto ‘we stock your design’ voor dat klanten geen eigen opslag nodig hebben. Euro Mouldings heeft daarvoor magazijnen, die ruimte bieden aan ruim 10.000 pallets. Euro Mouldings maakt op jaarbasis miljoenen flessen! Elk product heeft zijn eigen stamkaart en de machine leest aan de hand daarvan hoe de producten eruit moeten komen te zien. Dit referentiekader ligt vast, maar om ervoor te zorgen dat elk stadium in het productieproces goed verloopt, worden voortdurend tussentijdse controles uitgevoerd.

Martin Essink: “The success of recent years does not mean that we are now resting on our laurels. The growing need for sustainable solutions and to reduce CO2 has our full attention. We are always on the lookout for new techniques and are also at the forefront of new developments. Our customers appreciate that, just as they value our sincere attention to service. In our field, there are numerous producers who deliver bottles without caps, but our business philosophy is based on the notion that we genuinely want to make life easier for the customer. For this reason, we always deliver caps, too, as an extra service. We like to go the extra mile to serve our customers. This approach is also now bearing fruit. 27-08-2012

Our reputation is growing, even outside the Netherlands. Over the next few years, Euro Mouldings will continue to invest in technology and facilities in order to remain competitive and to raise the level of service still further.”

Nieuwe plannen en klantgerichtheid

Euro Mouldings-CEO Martin Essink: “Het succes van de

afgelopen jaren maakt niet dat wij rustig achterover leunen. De groeiende behoefte aan duurzame oplossingen en het terugdringen van CO2 heeft onze volledige aandacht. Wij zijn constant alert op de komst van nieuwe technieken en staan ook aan de basis van nieuwe ontwikkelingen. Onze klanten waarderen dat, net als onze oprechte aandacht voor service. Inmiddels werpt onze aanpak zijn vruchten af. Onze naamsbekendheid groeit, ook over de grenzen.”
