Turnhout: Where It All Began in 1964

Starting from a house in the Begijnhof, we’ve grown into a modern social enterprise for customized work multiple production facilities. Our oldest location in Turnhout has become both our headquarters and the beating heart of our company: here, we handle packaging and repackaging, labeling, assembly/kitting, and quality control.

In addition to our operational activities, most of our service units are also based here, including Human Resources & Organization, Finance & IT, Facilities & Technical Services, and Sales & Marketing.

We now have three locations in Turnhout, each with its own unique character:

A-kwadraat :

27 Everdongenlaan, 2300 Turnhout

Voor klanten in de voedings- en gezondheidsindustrie werken we in speciaal uitgeruste ruimtes, met een flexibel aanbod aan machines en apparatuur. Onze technische dienst ontwikkelt waar nodig slimme hulpmiddelen op maat.

In ons magazijn op A-kwadraat 1 hebben we plaats voor 2.265 paletten. Daarvan bewaren we er 593 in een speciaal geconditioneerde ruimte, waar we met zorg de temperatuur (15–18°C) en de luchtvochtigheid (<65%) op peil houden. Zo garanderen we dat alles onder de beste omstandigheden wordt bewaard.

Thanks to our flexible machinery, we can handle every order efficiently and ergonomically, always tailored to the customer’s needs. New colleagues receive a warm welcome here in our training rooms.

Onze jongste vestiging, geopend in 2018, ademt de zorg en precisie die de farmaceutische en healthcare-industrie vragen. We werken er in CNC-ruimtes en ISO 8 cleanrooms, waar geavanceerde luchtcirculatie en HEPA-filtering zorgen voor een zuivere omgeving. Dat maakt het mogelijk om veilig medicijnen te verpakken en medische hulpmiddelen te assembleren die later in de operatiekamer het verschil maken. We volgen daarbij strikt de GMP- en ISO 13485-standaarden, omdat kwaliteit en veiligheid voor ons altijd vooropstaan.

Onze lijnen voor packaging, labeling en rework zijn ontworpen met oog voor onze klanten én onze medewerkers, zoals de tip cap-machine die automatisch dopjes op medische spuiten plaatst. In het magazijn op A-kwadraat 3 is plaats voor 1.283 paletten,waarvan 176 in geconditioneerde ruimtes (15–18°C, <65% RV).

Hier huist ook onze kwaliteitsdienst, die met toewijding waakt over elk detail, zodat jij én je eindgebruikers altijd op ons kunnen rekenen.

Gierle: Craftsmanship since 1986

In 1986, we first found our home in Beerse, and later in Gierle. With Alito—made possible thanks to VKW Kempen and VIBO de Ring—a workshop was created here where wood tells the story. We started with woodworking. Later, we expanded into landscaping: hardwood flooring, exterior wood cladding, furniture components, circular wood projects, along with the maintenance and installation of green spaces. A place where talent flourishes, career advancement is possible, and where we literally build to measure.

Schoorstraat 69, 2275 Gierle

In Gierle, we dedicate our full expertise to serving customers in the wood industry. We saw and plane the wood, produce planks with tongue-and-groove profiles, perform end-milling operations, and edge-trim various sections. For multi-layer parquet, we have a specialized lamella saw and gluing line, ensuring that the top layers are perfectly bonded to the plywood. We process roundwood safely and efficiently, and our modern dust extraction system ensures a pleasant working environment. With 3,500 m² of covered and 5,000 m² of uncovered storage, we can fulfill orders flexibly and on time.

Gierle is also home to our landscaping teams. In the evenings, under the spacious awning, the vans are prepared for the next day, while our workshop handles the maintenance and sharpening of both electric and conventionally powered equipment.

Finally, you’ll find our Idea Café here, fully furnished with circular materials, where we love to welcome customers for inspiring conversations.

Hoogstraten: Closer to the Noorderkempen

For the past few years, you can also find us in Hoogstraten. Why? Because we want to be close to our people and our customers. This shortens the commute for our employees, allows us to help customers in the north more quickly, and keeps our energy where it belongs: in the work itself.

Sectors:

This facility, which we lease from DBG Storage in the De Kluis industrial park, is a small but important link in our A-kwadraat. Here, we provide services such as packaging and assembly for customers across a wide range of industries. With 48 pallet spaces, we keep everything organized and ready to act quickly.

This location is also home to our A-kwadraat that work at nearby businesses, allowing us to stay close to our customers and adapt flexibly as needed.
