Rolling Beatrix harbour

MKB B2B (SMEs B2B)  visited Steel Solutions BV  in the Beatrix Harbour in Maastricht last Tuesday September 17th.

Representatives of about 20 companies had subscribed for the company visit. During this meeting, entrepreneurship, in relation to chances, had a central position. The entrepreneurs were interested in some of the perspectives of Steel Solutions BV when it comes to the following themes;
-          Is the company’s growth an indicator for the economy?
-          How does the company deal with logistics, personnel, occupation and expansion?

These are themes that all SMEs are dealing with and where companies can learn from each other.

 
 
Wibo Feijen, Director of Steel Solutions BV shared his perspectives regarding the issues above and treated the guest to a presentation “Why a logistics company that focussed on logistically connecting steel mills and users of steel worldwide, is having such a good time in Maastricht?”. He also looked at the future of the steel industry, internationally but certainly also within Maastricht. The steel mills in this city alone, process over 1.5 million ton of steel every year. “The key points to achieve this? Smart logistics and good commercial contracts ensures conservation and growth”.

The guests where invited for a tour though the company and the evening ended with a joined dinner. All in all it was an inspiring evening with a lot of information exchange.
A success in our view.
