Bewo moves to a new location
BEWO Cutting Systems BV moved
offices in October 2014. After being
located in Tilburg for almost 80 years,
the Dutch developer and manufacturer
of manually operated circular saws
(the Bewo CPO) and high performance
automatic cutting machines for tubes will
be moving to a new and more spacious
location in Waalwijk.
With this move Bewo anticipates
the growing demand for automated
solutions for tube cutting from its
market. The premises are located next
to highway A59 and therefore better
accessible. It also has modern facilities,
including a training area. It is the right
place for further growth and making
ambitions come true.
With the recovering economy Bewo
sees a rise in demand for the further
automation of production processes.
The new premises in Waalwijk
facilitates the increase in demand.
Bewo’s automatic cutting lines are
becoming more extensive and ask for
more production surface. A complete
Bewo cutting line usually consists of an
automatic cutting machine, a de-burring
machine, a length control system, a
cleaning machine and a stacking robot
with discharge unit. In Waalwijk a
showroom and education centre will be
established where Bewo will present its
intelligent cutting solutions and where
agents and operators will be educated
in the world of automated cutting.
All activities during the move will
continue not just in the office, but also
in the factory.
Operations manager Frans van Gorp
explains: “Our customers will not be
bothered by our move. While we are
working in Tilburg we start building a
next cutting line in Waalwijk too. For the
simultaneous building of multiple cutting
lines a strict organisation is required, so
we have arranged everything down to
the last detail.”
Bewo has made a lot of history in
Tilburg. The company was founded
in 1936 as an engineering office
and located in Tilburg for almost 80
years. Since the 1950s it took in the
production of cutting systems. It further
developed the cutting systems and one
after another innovative developments
followed.
In the beginning of the 1960s Bewo
became the producer of complete
automatic cutting machines, consisting
of cutting, de-burring, measuring, length
control, cleaning and stacking of tubes.
Nowadays it still produces the
complete automatic cutting machines
and the renowned manually operated
circular saws: the Bewo CPO-315. Both
the complete solutions for cutting lines
and the Bewo CPO-315 go to customers
all over the world.
Frans van Gorp ends by saying:
“With the new location in Waalwijk we
have found a good place for making our
ambitions come true. We are ready for
an innovative future!”
