For Dennis Meijerink and his team, one thing is clear: successful planning requires good advice – and that is much more than just providing technical data. The hook and loop specialist explains:
"Especially for the industrial use of innovative hook and loop systems, it is important to make clean and precise decisions about the right choice of materials, properties, shear and peel forces, opening cycles, etc. Many interested parties are not aware of this at first. However, it is crucial for the customer's success that all criteria are optimally suited to the individual application of the planned systems," says the managing director,"and that is why we always start every consultation with the following: listening to the customer's specific concerns and the specific requirements placed on the product in terms of its application, the application environment, the weather conditions affecting the product, etc."
Active listening is therefore the key to mutual success. And for good reason – especially for professional customers from industry and business who attach great importance to the most accurate possible assessment of their requirements and the subsequent operating conditions of the solutions to be implemented. In this regard, kragoTEC Managing Director Dennis Meijerink regularly finds that corporations and internationally active companies in particular benefit from the service's faster yet highly accurate assessments and consultations due to their highly specialised corporate structures.
"The purchasing departments of large companies cannot be familiar with everything that is ordered on a daily basis in an industrial context. As simple as hook and loop-based fastening and attachment systems are in terms of their end result, they are complex when it comes to the criteria for making the right choice," says Meijerink. "Our consulting services therefore make life easier for professional purchasers who are making initial enquiries before further consultation with the group's engineering department. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every enquiry receives individual attention."
A matter of course for us: going the extra mile for professional requirements in terms of safety, reliability and international standards.
The kragoTEC® brand comprehensively meets the criteria of international industrial standards – and goes far beyond them.
Managing Director Dennis Meijerink comments: "We are happy to go the extra mile for our customers. Because we know that our hook and loop fastening systems are often used in situations where safety and reliability are of paramount importance: in professional applications with relevance and responsibility."
With enthusiasm for optimal solutions
And this is in keeping with a long tradition. The fifth-generation textile company is more than committed to its own quality standards. It is therefore no coincidence that the consultants and product developers also involve professionals from engineering, production and the in-house test laboratory in the planning of individual hook and loop system solutions. Proven experts with experience, commitment – and a great deal of enthusiasm for the best solutions.
A successful combination of technology and expertise
"Our success is based on a successful combination of machinery and the experience of qualified employees. This is a factor that repeatedly proves to be decisive, especially for the development processes of complex solutions – from consultation to implementation."
