Thursday 4 November 2021 we visited the Sleegers Experience Center in Nieuwkuijk with the OSV.

The more than 50 participants were very surprised about this innovative company and the passion that radiated not only from the director Huub Sleegers but from all the staff present.

What they did not know in advance was that the visitors were given a 'sneak preview' of the latest innovation during the tour. This will be launched on a grand scale next year.

The reactions were very positive. "You are going to do very well with this", "How is it possible that you have managed to do this", "A lot of food producers will be very happy with this", "This is going to be the hit of the year". Those were just a few. That promises something!

The presentations by Huub Sleegers, Marlou van Jaarsveld, Creative director & Connector of Visual Workplace and John Wallbrink, Director of Wallbrink Crossmedia ensured a varied programme.

A programme that officially ended at 19.00 hours. However, it was so enjoyable and well catered for and people just couldn't stop talking during the drinks that the last one only went home at 9.30 pm.

We thank Huub and his team for the welcome and the passionate tour and invite food producing companies to make an appointment in the Sleegers Experience Center.

Who knows, maybe you will also get a Sneak Preview and you do not have to wait until 2022!

Because if you want to buy a new machine, you would like to test it first. With your own product of course, otherwise it doesn't count. That seems difficult. Because nowhere are the conditions exactly like in your factory. Nowhere? Yes there is: with the Sleegers Experience Center the Netherlands does have a real-life test location.

All attention for the customer

In the Experience Center the complete production line is set up, from start to finish, from cutting to packaging. "We involve the companies that supply the modules for packaging and labelling in the sales and development process. How? By having their machines come to Nieuwkuijk. Which specialist companies we work with is decided by the customer. We are independent in that respect. Some people want brand A, others want brand B. It does make for interesting combinations! Right from the sales phase, we work in a team, which makes communication run smoothly," says Huub Sleegers.
