When your business is growing like crazy, requiring you to double your premises for the third time, you want a guarantee that your new warehouse can easily be expanded in the future. And if, moreover, you are looking for a powder coating on color, fast realization and a luxurious look because of the large customers who visit you regularly, then of course you first do a comparative market research. So did Joep de Laet, owner of Rimba: "I wanted to have a transparent picture of the market and therefore decided not to knock on my previous supplier's door immediately, but to invite five new parties. And I'm extremely glad I did!"
Rimba is an international wholesaler specializing in erotic items. Started in 1971 with the production of these items, today they supply worldwide to wonderful companies including Bol.com and Amazon. Last year, Rimba moved to new premises. De Laet: "This is the third move where we doubled our business space. This time I needed 556 units of shelving, a free-standing construction floor of over 300 square meters and almost 600 square meters of mezzanine floor."
"Europe Racking was one of the invited parties and in the end my choice fell on them. Important criteria were fast delivery, Dutch manufacture, good value for money and a team that knows what they are talking about. With Europe Racking I could tick off all those points and they lived up to our expectations, exceeded even. They started in early August and a month later it was ready, exactly on schedule."
"For me, the powder coating of the shelves was also important. On the one hand, so as not to damage my luxury packaging, as easily happens with galvanized shelves. On the other hand, because I consider a professional appearance of my warehouse important, since I regularly have large customers visiting. After all, you can only make a first impression once. Europe racking can supply the racks in any color. Not all parties I invited could offer that as standard. But fortunately Europe Racking did and also with a fast delivery time."
"The assembly went surprisingly smoothly, despite having to be done in the middle of a vacation period. The crew consisted of guys who have been employed by Europe Racking for a long time and therefore knew exactly what to do. They worked efficiently and neatly and even the waste was neatly cleaned up and disposed of. Now that the warehouse is here and I see how my people work with it, I am very happy with my choice for Europe Racking. I would choose them again next time and can dispense with a market survey," De Laet laughs.
Europe Racking, spun off from Bosal Warehouse Equipment, specializes in high-quality warehouse racking and warehouse equipment with a premium appearance. Their own production facility in the Netherlands ensures they deliver quickly and cost efficiently. Dirk Dessers, owner and managing director: "We have 40 years of experience in all market sectors, so we know the market inside out. The Europe Racking shelving and mezzanine floor systems are therefore specifically developed to meet the needs of our customers."
Europe Racking supplies both standard and custom products. "Much we can solve with products from our standard range, and if necessary we supplement that with custom work developed and produced in-house. Our customers are all over Western Europe, but we are particularly strong in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, England, Denmark and Finland.
