Successful customer event at AWL Harderwijk

On the first 2 days of July AWL organized their customer days 2009.
A very smart choice to invest in their customers. Especially in these economic turbulent times. Things are going very well at AWL. They maintain their leading position through intensive innovation and service. This message came across loud and clear during this event.

There were two important themes to be discussed:
1. Changes and consequences in safety regulations
2. Economic standard in laser welding concepts

These themes were a good answer to the main developments which are affecting the business. With a overwhelming number of participations of more than 75 customers from 36 companies of 8 different European countries, the informative program and fantastic weather the customer days 2009 were a success from the start.

For both theme’s guest speakers were invited from ABB, Rofin, Precitec, Corus en Festo. They all showed excellent leadership on the subjects. And all stressed the importance of the incorporation of the new machine directive which will be introduced end 2009 as an answer to the safety regulations.

The new laser welding concept which AWL developed was the highlight of the event. Most of the customers are thinking of incorporating this technology. Mean reason is the fast welding speeds up to 10x faster than traditional welding. In industries of high volume production, like automotive and heating, laser welding will soon be the new standard. AWL has shown her customers the possibilities of the new generation in laser welding concepts and the consequences of laser welding. The all got useful tips and tricks for implementing laser welding within their own organization.

After the seminars it was time for a real live demonstration on the AWL shop floor. Customers could see for themselves how accurate and fast the laser welding concept really is.

Piet Mosterd, General Director at AWL, stated: “We have shown a very promising laser solution to the automotive supplier industry. The reactions were enthusiastic and praising”.

Beside the formal part of the customer days 2009 there was sufficient time to get more acquainted with each other. With 8 authentic ships there was a pleasant boat trip to an island in the “Veluwemeer”, followed by a nice BBQ.

“A great way to spent time with our customers and to talk about important developments in the market. We clearly act on our slogan “Keeps you ahead in automated welding”, according to Brand van ‘t Hof, Technical Director at AWL.
