Jan van Dam installs more than 150 machines at 247TailorSteel

The partnership is now a well-oiled machine. 

The partnership between 247TailorSteel and Jan van Dam goes back quite a while. ‘Our first contact was through a shared business relation, TRUMPF Netherlands,’ says Jan van Dam. ‘We’ve been a logistical partner for TRUMPF for years, and when 247TailorSteel bought a machine from them, we were asked to install it. That was the start of a great relationship. In recent years, we have installed or moved a total of more than 150 machines for 247TailorSeel, including to their factory in Germany.’

The partnership is now a well-oiled machine. ‘We know that if we call in Jan van Dam Machine Transport, our process won’t be disrupted,’ says James Schleitwiler, project engineer at 247. ‘The guys from Van Dam know everything about the machines. They also know our production environment and how to disassemble, transport and put the machines back in place as efficiently as possible. The contact with the planning and internal departments is also excellent. No matter when you call, they always answer the phone. They’re flexible and reliable and they work safely at all times. That’s really good to know.’
