Professionalism employees business card in machine transportation

Investing in a new machine is one thing, but how do you get that machine perfectly delivered to the production floor? That is where Jan van Dam Machine Transport comes in. With more than thirty years of experience under its belt, the company knows like no other how to prepare the delivery of a machine to perfection. The combination of well-equipped trucks with a professional team of experienced people means you don't have to worry about implementation.

When Jan van Dam founded his transportation company 32 years ago, he already saw his employees as his most important calling card. "Everything starts with respect for people. A good team means good cooperation and you radiate that to the customers. Because to the arrival of a new machine everyone does come to look. That's when you have to be at your best." Today, Jan van Dam Machine Transport has more than 40 employees. Some of them even first got to know the company as interns. "You put a lot of time into that, yes, but you get at least as much in return. When you share knowledge, it can only really multiply. That's important in our industry." During those 32 years, van Dam constantly worked to optimize, modernize and professionalize his machine fleet. "It's about more than just transportation. You have to be able to lift and hoist machines and provide internal transport to get them all the way to the right spot on the production floor. You have to have the right stuff with you. We try to take the best possible care of our customers through that entire process."

Thorough preparation crucial

Everything hinges on proper preparation, according to van Dam. "Machines are big investments. Then you have to think in advance about how to fuse them in the right way so that there really isn't a scratch on them during transport. In addition, you have to be thoroughly prepared for the situation at the customer where you deliver the machine. That starts with listening carefully to what his needs are. We talk through everything as thoroughly as possible and go on site to see how best to get the machine where it needs to go. By preparing well, the end customer loses as little time as possible during the actual implementation. After all, production comes to a halt for a while when a new machine arrives. Thanks to the dedication of our staff, this can be done as efficiently and as professionally as possible."

Reference in machine transportation

In recent years Jan van Dam has established itself as a reference for machine transport in the metal sector. Whether it is an industrial relocation or a delivery from the factory, turning and milling machines or laser cutting machines ... Jan van Dam's team ensures that this is done with the utmost care. Even if they have to go overseas. Then this goes via Jan van Dam Global Machine Logistics. "My motivation is to want to be the best at my job. An enthusiasm that I try to convey to all my employees and especially my three children who are now active in the business. If you succeed in that, you grow naturally. The fact that we have been able to celebrate so many successes in recent years, together with our customers, has everything to do with the fact that we succeed in unburdening the entire team. And we do that in a very open and transparent way."
