Annual inspections at CurTec
As specialists in lifting technology, our customers are in various industries. From companies in the food industry to construction companies, they all have a lifting job at one time or another where Mitari can provide support. We like to show this diversity of our customer base by regularly recording a customer visit. This time we were welcomed with open arms at CurTec, where the production of packaging continues non-stop. After an impressive tour of the production halls, warehouse manager Wil de Kort takes us to the canteen for a good conversation about the cooperation over a cup of coffee.
CurTec designs, manufactures and distributes plastic high performance packaging. The drums, buckets and jars are manufactured in Rijen and then find their way to leading pharma, specialty chemicals and food ingredients companies worldwide. The company wants to grow and innovate with circularity in mind and has set itself ambitious sustainability goals. By 2030, it aims to reduce its emissions to net-zero and realize circular business models together with its partners. CurTec regards suppliers as equal partners and strives for sustainable relationships. Let that be a common goal
Annual inspections
Wil's job is to make sure there are enough materials so that everyone can do the job properly. This also relates to the tools to work safely, such as lifting equipment. The molds used for production are heavy and it is labor intensive to change them. With lifting equipment, this is easily done, but to ensure safety, the equipment must be inspected annually. According to Wil, the cooperation could not be better: "Good agreements, clear communication and tight planning. In November I was already aware of the scheduled inspection in February. When the inspector leaves here, I can just assume that everything is good."
Empathize with the costumer
While Wil talks about the cooperation, Maintenance Manager Pierre Bouwens joins the canteen table. According to him, the company is now playing in the fifth division and in order to get promoted, we need to win more. "If I look through the glasses of the technical department, it means we have to do preventive maintenance better. Looking at inspections and stuff we have, that has to be tightly organized. As technical service we are professionalizing and Mitari is a player in that with whom we are in contact. For us, Mitari is already playing fourth class." Pierre prefers to see suppliers as partners because then you can make agreements differently and take more responsibility. That when you come in, you already know where to go and who makes decisions. Empathizing with the company and knowing what is going on, that is the added value of Mitari according to Pierre. This is how Mitari can continue to provide support in the future.
