Magnatech speaks the welder's language

摘要

The welding world is quite a small one. There ere only a number of spedcfised welding companies that supply the latest in welding equipment In this is a company that specializes even further. Magnatech is fully geared to supplying orbital welding equipment to customers world-wide. The company's European branch is based in Dronten, The Netherlands, which is where we spoke with Managing Director Mr Wynhold Wijnholds. When meeting Mr Wijnholds it is clear from the start that he is driven to run a successful business and will go the extra mile to meet his customer's demands. On one occasion, for example, Mr Wijnholds was called in to investigate unexpected welding problems with a client in New Zealand and didn't hesitate to book a flight for the next morning in order to see what the trouble was and to help. This illustrates the commitment that is typical for Magnatech Europe ever since it was founded in 1992 as an independent sales organisation for the American mother company. But Mr Wijnholds was already involved in the welding industry long before that. After finishing his studies he started with Hobart Brothers International. Hobart was eventually sold and Mr Wijnholds continued his work independently as an exclusive distributor for Magnatech, whose products had always been sold through Hobart. This was the start of a fruitful enterprise that today services Europe, the Middle-East, Africa and Asia.
