The start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all started in May 1982 when Van den Berg Kunststof Bewerking BV was founded in Geldrop. The focus was on traditional milling, drilling, turning, gluing and sawing. In 1996, the company moved to business area Science Park Ekkersrijt in Son where it is still located nowadays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the company has become a specialist in high performance plastics machining and engineering plastics machining and active in various market segments: high-tech, semiconductor, medical, food, defense, aerospace and chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the machining the company is still using craft techniques to achieve an optimal combination between assembly and complex plastic machining. “Nowadays,  there are many kinds of plastic with so many possibilities,” said Mannes Westhuis, Managing Director.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

International reputation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The last years , the international reputation of BKB Precision has grown in for example countries such as Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, China and the United States. Due to the growth of the company, a new production hall was built in 2008. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Further automation with robots could take place and we are able to serve our customers 24\/7. This can only be achieved by continuing to innovate and invest in skilled personnel and processes,”says Mannes Westhuis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With 35 years experience, we know that there are still many challenges for us in the market and together with our international customers we focus on the future. BKB Precision would like to make further growth in the chain.<\/p>\n\n\n
