What we did in 2011...In January all our office employees started working with new PC’s incorporating all the latest programme updates as well as our new Document Management System (DMS) called ‘Arista’. With this customized software programme all internal and external communication is filed in one system and is accessible to all.
At the beginning of the year our production department started working with a completely new 5-axis machining centre. Together with the brand new turning-milling machining centre which is being installed at this very moment so we’re completely up to date and ready for shorter production times and new challenges.
In 2011 we have participated at many exhibitions on a worldwide basis and have met a great deal of interesting people and companies. The biggest show for Van Aarsen was the Victam International exhibition and was held in Cologne. Van Aarsen introduced at that show their newest innovation to the worldwide public, the GD Hammer mill with automatic screen exchange in there beautiful temporary market place.
For Van Aarsen and our customers throughout the world, 2011 was a year with new innovations, new machinery as well as new production lines and complete plants. Fortunately, in spite of the current economic climate, we can look back on a successful year.
We have been able to welcome three additional representative offices to the Van Aarsen Global Network and so are growing constantly closer and closer to our customers.
At our headquarters in Panheel, The Netherlands, we have undergone a staff increase. No less than 20 new highly qualified and skilled employees have joined our teams in the production facilities as well as the engineering department.
From the above we can conclude that 2011 has brought us the prosperity we wished for a year ago and is a confidence-boost for the running year 2012 even now when the financial world is trying to get a grip on itself. We want to take this opportunity to thank you all for the confidence you have shown in Van Aarsen in 2011 and your cooperation and contribution to make 2012 another successful year.
