In 1971, L. Verbakel B.V. started making stables and feed troughs from Bert Verbakel his workshop which was located at home. Because the company grew out of its jacket, L. Verbakel B.V. has been built since 1978 with a business hall located on the industrial site of Nijnsel, where we are still located. Over the years neighbouring buildings and plots have been bought up and built in several phases. The last major renovation date back to 2002 when the offices and the RVS-hall have been completely replaced. Because L. Verbakel B.V. grows through but also the neighbor Marc Verbakel with his company KLV (Kunststof Lastechnieng Verbakel) grows further, it is necessary that part of the old halls is replaced by 1 large new hall. This hall will be 60 meters wide and 40 meters deep, with a height of around 8 meters on the gutter side. Since 2016.
In early 2018 a start was made with an internal renovation, creating more production space in the permanent hall. Then, around the summer all the machines from the plastic department were moved to the stainless steel department. Before the demolition could be started, the sea containers and the outdoor stock had to be temporarily moved to a storage site on the same industrial site as where we are located. Then the old halls could be completely demolished. Early January of this year, the foundation and pudding were placed in front of the new hall. After this the firm Hardeman from Veenendaal will set down the hall.
We expect the new hall to be fully ready around April/May 2019. Since this new hall is going to contain supplies in particular, our large stock of PE plastic will be in place instead of outside, as has been the case for years now. As a result the plates no longer need to be acclimatized and we can also store a larger supply of feed beacons that will improve the production and delivery speed.
In order to achieve this, we have asked our fellow Members for a great deal of flexibility and cooperation, and we are proud that they are fully involved in this. When the hall is complete in a few months then we can look back proudly what we got done with each other.
