Profielnorm's renewed swing gate: with safety hinges!

We would like to introduce our renewed swing gates and tell you what the advantages are of this innovation!

Safety
The swing gates are much safer, as sharp edges and protruding bolts have disappeared. Furthermore, the clamp risk is much lower due to the fine and smooth shielding.

Precision
Thanks to the additional mounting bracket built into the new hinge, the hinge can be easily and straightly aligned during installation. There are two versions: One for 30 kg (up to about 1 metre) and one for 70 kg (up to about 1.5 metres).

Finish 
Thanks to the new adjustable and self-closing safety hinges, the swing gates have a refined finish.

A successful open day at Profielnorm!

Last Saturday, 20 April 2024, Profielnorm had an open day. The expansion of the current building at our location on Energieweg was celebrated with an official opening. Part of this opening was a speech by mayor Marleen Sijbers.

Profielnorm added 6,000 square meters to the existing building (location: Energieweg in Tholen). This ensures that the production process is organised more efficiently and the capacity can be further expanded. In addition, new offices have been added to the building.

Last Saturday, we welcomed around 500 people, including colleagues, family, and friends. There was fun for young and old: from bouncy castles and an obstacle run to guided tours and information about different departments. MAF and Mercy Ships were also present, two of the charities that Profielnorm supports. The food trucks provided a delicious lunch and with a tram everyone could easily visit both our location on the Energieweg and our location on the Slabbecoornweg.

All in all it was a successful day full of gratitude, pride, and fun.
