Customisation on a large scale - AMF Bakery Systems
The people at AMF are always looking for the best conveyor systems, and generally require a large-scale, tailored solution. From hygienic design and material quality to flexibility and fast delivery: it was with these requirements in mind that AMF began its search for a reliable OEM partner. Lex van Houten and Hans Besems talk about their successful collaboration with Marvu.
Customised conveyor systems
End users in the food industry often look for customised conveying machines for their specific applications, such as transporting liquids or chilled products. An additional challenge for an OEM like AMF: how can they deliver custom-built conveyors or the different types of end-users they serve daily within the set deadline? AMF has worked with Marvu for over five years on different projects and solutions. The fast delivery of customised conveyor systems on a large scale is a breath of fresh air, according to Lex. “At AMF, we’re regularly looking for specialised, non-standard solutions for our customers. We aren’t always able to produce these ourselves. But thanks to Marvu, now we can.”
Technical support and specialist knowledge
Because the majority of production lines are made to measure, specific expertise is also required. Not a problem for Marvu’s technician team. They provide technical support and are always exchanging ideas with the AMF team about complex challenges. According to Hans, these are moments when it’s really nice to have an OEM partner like Marvu by your side. “The lines we produce have to meet very strict requirements, and we ask Marvu for help in matters we don’t have expertise in ourselves.” By working closely with Marvu’s engineering team, AMF also saves time. Marvu is now taking care of the technical design of the customised transport solutions, giving AMF more space for what they are really good at: supplying advanced technologies and solutions to bakery companies.
Excels in connecting
AMF has, therefore, gained a lot from working with Marvu. The biggest advantage in Hans’ view? “The people at Marvu do what they promise.” In other words, in collaboration with OEM partner Marvu, AMF is able to provide its customers with customised conveyor machines that meet their specific requirements. Because Marvu guarantees delivery of the conveyor machinery within the deadline, AMF is able to uphold its quality and service. It gives them the assurance that the work will continue while also giving customers the service they deserve. So when asked whether Hans would recommend Marvu as an OEM partner, the answer is a resounding yes. “I would definitely recommend Marvu to others; they are reliable, and the quality is good. Thanks to them, we can perform our work as promised to our customers.”
