Our vision

We work together to achieve the finest results for our customers, achieved by working collaboratively and placing trust in one another. We love new ideas and rejoice in implementing them. Sometimes they do not succeed, often they do. It is only by trying that you will make progress. We dare to stick our necks out and thus improve again every day. And our customers notice this. They sense our commitment, which results in surprising results. We draw great pleasure and satisfaction from this.

"WE ARE ENTREPRENEURS, INVOLVED, DOWN-TO-EARTH AND WE LIKE CRAFTMANSHIP AND TECHNOLOGY"

WHAT WE DO


1. We build machines

First of all, we are steel-processing machine builders. And with 25+ products, we can always offer our customer a solution. Supported by our logistic solutions, such as Multi-System-Integration (MSI) and smart buffer zones, we can set up automated production lines for our customers.


2. We develop software

Software has become indispensable to our machines, allowing us to automate our machines as much as possible. Our in-house developed software products VACAM, Digi-Steel and EVI provide our customers with maximum insight and control over their machines and processes.


3. We offer the best service

In addition to machines and software, service has been central to Voortman since the first generation. 95% percent of questions can be solved remotely with our 24-hour online support. Is there something we can't solve online? Then our well-trained engineers will be at the customer's site within 24 hours.


Corporate Social Responsibility

Safety is our top priority. Everyday everyone safe everywhere is a major slogan that recurs daily in our company. We are unstinting with our people and our customers since they are of inestimable value to our company. We also show respect for our environment so generations after us are able to enjoy living and working as well. We have translated these objectives into our QHSE policy, of which Think Safe – Work Safe is a part.

QHSE policy

Quality, safety and the environment have our constant attention. Good is not good enough – we strive for better! When developing any new products and buildings, our focus is on sustainable development (energy and materials) and reducing our environmental impact (waste, CO2 and energy).

Think Safe - Work Safe
All our employees should be able to get home safely after work for their evening meal. Accordingly, we intend to keep risks on the shop floor down to a minimum in terms of both safety and the environment. We therefore map out all the risks before a project starts and establish how we can control them. We repeat this anew for each project. We have developed a program for this ourselves: Think Safe – Work Safe.
