We have recently ordered a new MAZAK J500 5X, which will be put into operation in early January 2018.

Because we are increasingly seeing a growth in products that require multi-side processing, this machine will most certainly improve production.

Our new J500 5X is a 5-axes simultaneous machine and will be positioned next to our other J500.

In this way, we hope to keep the lead times for these types of parts acceptable.

On February 1, we were visited by the Alfa Romeo club for a photo shoot in an industrial environment.

The car that was placed in the spotlights was the Alfa Romeo Spider. A wonderful day that yielded a lot of great photos. A number of these photos will be published in the SCARB magazine later this year.

In recent months, many people have been working very hard on and in our new building. While outside the final parts of the pavement were completed and the trees in front of the building were given a definite place, our office and the production hall – including machines and apparatus – were fully furnished. Now that the first production weeks in the new location are behind us and our logo is attached to the front wall, we decided it would be a great time to organise an Open House for family, friends, staff and relations.

On Friday, 1 April, the Open House at Pretec was finally held at our new location at Industrieweg 24. The machines were polished, the floors were swept and the building’s wall was stripped of the final building materials. The guests were warmly welcomed with a red carpet under an arch of black and orange balloons. Moreover, for this special occasion the production hall was festively decorated with a bar and standing tables. We received more than 150 guests who immediately took advantage of a short tour through the new building. There was a lot of interests in the production machines that were operating for this particular occasion. We were particularly honoured by the presence of Mayor Staatsen and Alderman Nieuwenhuizen of the Municipality of Voorschoten. We can look back on a fun and successful open house.

We would like to thank all our relations for their presence and the warm congratulations and beautiful gifts we received. We greatly appreciate it! In addition, we would like to thank all of our employees for the beautiful metal ‘P’lantenbaq’. We will definitely give it a prominent place in our office.

In de dagen voor Kerst leverde Unibouw in Voorschoten een nieuw bedrijfspand op voor Pretec Precisietechniek. De bouw vond plaats op het terrein naast het pand waar het bedrijf de laatste jaren uit zijn jas groeide.

Pretec Precisietechniek is al meer dan 25 jaar gespecialiseerd in het bewerken van diverse metalen en kunststoffen. De organisatie maakte Unibouw verantwoordelijk voor het complete proces, van ontwerp en vergunningaanvraag tot en met de sleuteloverdracht. Dit alles volgens de inmiddels beproefde bouwmethodiek: hoogwaardig en in een zeer kort tijdsbestek. We realiseerden een bedrijfshal, een kantoor en een kolomvrije hal, zodat machines efficiënt kunnen worden verplaatst. De nieuwbouw levert Pretec naast een hogere productiecapaciteit en meer werkcomfort ook verschillende (in)directe besparingen op, dankzij een ideale kavelindeling en slimme logistieke oplossingen.

Smooth and fast construction process
Clients reflect with great satisfaction on the smooth building process. “It went incredibly fast,” says co-owner Rob Abbenhuis. “In the summer holidays the first foundation poles were constructed and on 23 December the building was delivered. Truly amazing to see. Because we wanted to be able to continue our operations during construction, we hired a construction supervisor. Thanks to his and Unibouw’s expertise, we could completely relax. It was of course great that we could experience the construction process up close from our old building. Moreover, this made two-way communication very easy. The employees of Unibouw knew what they were talking about and were never afraid to bring up suggestions. We have greatly appreciated their flexibility. In short: we had a wonderful Christmas, with our work in the new location as something to look forward to! “
