More than a machine supplier

Focus on smart ergonomic solutions that make production and assembly easier and safer

For many companies in the window frame industry, KRUBA is a familiar name as a supplier of high-quality machines. But does the market know that KRUBA also offers solutions that make the production process and assembly of window frames even more efficient and healthy? "We notice that this aspect of our offering and services is sometimes still somewhat underexposed," says Niels van Essen, director of KRUBA. "That's why we want to show that we go beyond just supplying high-quality machines. We also help our customers improve their working conditions."

For years, KRUBA has been known in the market for supplying machines that optimize the production of window frames. But the company also offers ergonomic tools that make work less physically demanding. "So - as far as we are concerned - it's not just about those machines. Consider also, for example, our height-adjustable work tables," Niels continues. "These tables are specially designed to prevent employees from having to lift heavy frames. They can adjust the work tables to their own height, so they always work in a good and responsible posture. This not only saves on physical strain, but also reduces the risk of injury and reduces absenteeism. The latter is obviously not an unnecessary luxury. After all, the labor market is still tighter than tight! By definition, every employer is looking for these kinds of sensible solutions anno 2024!"

Another smart solution KRUBA offers is the profile truck for steel, aluminum and plastic. "Instead of our customers having to drag heavy profiles, they can easily move them with the profile truck," Niels explains. "This not only creates more efficiency on the shop floor, but also improves employee well-being. After all, a healthy employee is a productive employee."

Investing in wellness pays off  

Consequently, KRUBA's focus is on providing complete solutions. "We try to thoroughly understand and analyze our customers' thought processes, both in terms of production efficiency and employee welfare. Our ambition is for our customers to be successful. And... that their employees can work in a pleasant, safe and healthy way. The great thing is that these solutions, such as the profile trolleys and work tables, are not only practical, but therefore also contribute to the business benefits."

Broad industry-wide solution  

With this broad approach, Baarn-based Kruba helps companies in the window frame industry optimize their production processes while investing in the well-being of their employees. "We hope that our customers will increasingly understand that we have more to offer than just those machines," Niels stresses. "It's about providing complete solutions, from efficient and high-quality machines to ergonomic tools that make work on the floor lighter and safer."

As such, KRUBA maintains a constant focus on innovation, with both technology and employee wellness at its core. "We see that companies increasingly value a healthy work environment," says Niels. "And we understand that all too well. We are here to help them do that, with solutions that not only contribute to their productivity, but also to their business continuity. We are more than just a machine supplier."
