Van Genechten Packaging

The practical situation at Van Genechten Biermans in Turnhout, the manufacturer of folding boxes, shows that the deployment of a maintenance management system can bear fruit. Owing to its positive experience, the packaging giant also wants to implement the system in other plants in various European countries. The company's three French branches are now also using the system.

Krist Janssen is clear about the benefits of using Ultimo Maintenance Management: “The various reports from the system give us a good insight into the costs of the technical department’s work. As a result, we can finally take well-founded decisions on the basis of the costs that are actually incurred. I would also like to note that the work is more efficient. By using the system, work is distributed better and hence runs more smoothly. Work can be scheduled smoothly depending on the people available and, which is not insignificant, depending on production nodes. The implementation of preventive maintenance and modifications can be tracked better."
