Successful opening for Bewo
AT the end of 2014 Bewo, the developer
and producer of the CPOmanual circular
saw and high-performance automatic
tube cutting lines, moved to a new
building in Waalwijk, the Netherlands.
The company has now held a ceremony
to officially open the new facility.
The new location is more spacious,
with modern facilities, and because
the building is located next to a major
highway, Bewo has increased its
accessibility.
For the opening ceremony Bewo
deliberately chose not to cut the
traditional ribbon. The new building
was instead opened by cutting a long
tube, using its own Bewo CPO-315. All
employees were allowed to cut a piece
of the tube. After the cutting the tube
dropped, clearing the path for the guests
to enter the building.
During the opening, Bewo gave
comprehensive demonstrations on an
automatic cutting line, based on the
DCH-76 Sapphire cutting machine with
de-burring machine and stacking robot.
This universal cutting machine has a
high production speed and effortless
double production, even with tubes of
different starting lengths. This specific
cutting line will be exported to a client
in Mexico to make products mainly
destined for automotive industry.
Operations manager Frans van Gorp
commented, “Dealers and customers
can turn to us for the best cutting
machines and for training, advice and
specific technical support. Worldwide
we pursue growth with our excellent
customer service, innovation, high
quality and collaborations. For the
world market all of this comes together
in Bewo’s new building. 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!”
