Welcome to our factory
Eromesmarko takes pride in being one of the few furniture manufacturers to be able to say that all of its own products are produced entirely in the Netherlands. This guarantees that all our products are manufactured according to the highest quality standards and under good working conditions. Furthermore, we are also very pleased with our environmentally friendly production facilities. Our location in the city of Wijchen, where we make our steel furniture, is even one of the cleanest factories in the Netherlands, with a completely carbon-neutral and virtually 100% waste-free production process. But most importantly, we are very proud of our passionate employees, who work hard every day to produce the most sustainable, high-quality and beautiful school furniture. For that reason, we would like to let them tell you how their department works, to give you a good idea of the whole process, from steel to chair.

What we stand for
From steel to frame
Metal
On one end of the production hall, the >30% recycled steel from our local suppliers arrives for initial processing: “In the metal department we manufacture entire welded frames, mainly for chairs and tables, from the bundles of iron that come in. We start by laser cutting the parts with our laser machine. Then the parts go either to our extensive semi-finished warehouse or to the bending shop, where the parts are bent into the right shape with our Veenstra and Wafios bending machines. All equipment is CNC-driven, which means that it is controlled very precisely by a highly specialised computer system. The Wafios machines are also equipped with a camera recognition system. Finally, we weld the frames on one of the four OTC MAG welding robots, our Panasonic TIG/MAG welding robot or by hand. Other work we do is sawing, drilling/tapping and punching.”

All newly welded frames as well as the ones to be revitalised are then sent to the paint shop: “Not only do we work closely together within the department, but also between the departments. When the metal department informs us that new items have been manufactured, they are sorted and stored by a runner in a buffer zone. From here, they are prepared for the paint shop according to the daily schedule of our team leader. We work with a full powder coating system in combination with a monorail that ensures a continuous process. The frames are attached to this by a suspension team consisting of a hooks inspector, who checks whether the right items are ready and hangs the corresponding hooks on the moving rail, and another person who hangs the items on the hooks and keeps the area tidy.”

Then the actual powder coating begins; a clean and efficient technology that also offers good value for money. “After the items have been pre-processed and passed through the drying oven, they arrive at the spraying booth fitted with a spraying robot. A sprayer is responsible for touching up areas that are difficult for the robot to reach. He also cleans the spraying booth and the powder station several times a day when the powder colour is changed. A lot of experience is needed here, because when different powder coatings get mixed up, it shows immediately in the end result. When the items have been sprayed and cured in the curing oven, they arrive at the collector who checks them, takes them off the rail and prepares them for the assembly department.”
