A future-oriented manufacturing company from Roeselare with a focus on the customer and the production of quality and innovative customized solutions. That's how you can describe BO-Solutions. For over 35 years, the company has specialized in the development and production of precision parts, functional components and tooling: from prototyping and piecework to small and medium series, and reverse engineering. The combination of qualified employees and state-of-the-art machinery is the basis for its success. BO-Solutions is also a sustainable enterprise with a focus on people and society.
"BO-Solutions makes precision parts for many sectors of industry: pumps and engines, machine building, petroleum extraction, the food industry, the pharmaceutical sector, even for the design world. We focus on more complex custom work pieces, in metal and plastic. This involves both new parts to be developed and the accurate reproduction of existing elements for which no drawings exist," says CEO Bart Vandepitte. "The growth of the company and the urge to improve comfort for our people were the two main reasons to realize a new building in Liebeekstraat. The focus here was on sustainable (re)use of material and energy flows, with attention to the current social challenges around climate, energy and circularity."
The key to success lies with the team of motivated employees. BO-Solutions considers it important to offer its employees a pleasant working environment, where there are also opportunities for advancement and training opportunities. For their comfort and well-being, the new production hall was equipped with an adiabatic cooling system. Indeed, this allows them to work in a pleasant and constant temperature throughout the year. For a moment of relaxation, they can visit the cozy company restaurant, where large windows provide plenty of natural light.
"In addition to people, a high-performance machine park is obviously crucial. We have about fifty mainly CNC-controlled machines for turning, milling, grinding, lapping and honing. Thanks to advanced technologies, we succeed in realizing sustainable processes, which benefit end product and customer. It is our intention to continue investing in digitalization, automation and robotics in the future," said Bart Vandepitte.
At Bo-Solutions, they place great importance on supporting young people because they are the building blocks for the future.
"We want to give those young people opportunities, opportunities to try and win, but also to fail and learn from that," said Nancy Van Damme. "We have been a loyal supplier and believer of the Belgian Agoria Solar Team for many years. That's a group of Leuven industrial engineering students who race their solar car every two years at the World Solar Challenge. We are also a proud partner of VTIR@tomic1 of VTI Roeselare. These students make cars to scale that run on hydrogen. Both partnerships are an excellent opportunity for us to help build what may become the car of the future. They also allow us to further highlight our image as an innovative company."
Bart Vandepitte and Nancy Van Damme also strongly believe in sustainable business. This was evident, for example, in the realization of their new building, where sustainability was indeed the starting point. Thus, half of the energy used consists of green electricity produced by the 3,000 m² of solar panels, and part of the heating is recovered from the machines. At Bo-Solutions, however, they hope to do even more.
"We found a fine mentor in the Climate Coalition of the city of Roeselare. We learned in the meantime that we can be quite ambitious in our commitment. For example, we would be only too happy to put our backs into a community that would supply the surrounding residential neighborhoods or stores with our energy surpluses during the weekends. That will undoubtedly be pursued," Nancy Van Damme concludes. "We are aware that alone we will not save the world, but we hope to raise awareness of climate change and energy challenges to the widest possible audience through such actions. More than ever, this is a topical issue that we must all tackle together, sooner rather than later."
