Nabuurs' wishes

For the realisation of a new warehouse, a hall of 9000 m2 had to be fitted out to function as a high bay warehouse. Nabuurs’ request to Cor Verkolf b.v. was clear: setting up a warehouse with standard racks based on a layout drawing designed by Nabuurs. “An assignment that is clearly definable but requires the necessary expertise, technical knowledge and experience from a supplier to achieve a good end result where timing, meeting agreements, clarity and close consultation are of great importance”, says project manager Michel Bruisten.

Why Cor Verkolf?

In September 2020, Michel took over the project, which had been purchased and was ready to go, from his predecessor. Because Cor Verkolf is a good partner of Nabuurs and is already active in several of Nabuurs’ warehouses, Michel was fully confident.

From setting up the warehouse in Oosterhout (GLD) to resolving repairs and adjusting the configuration when needed. According to colleagues, the service provided by Cor Verkolf b.v. is a perfect match for the wishes of Nabuurs.

Excellent cooperation

“I can confirm that all the expectations I had have been fulfilled. Marco Verkolf, owner of Cor Verkolf b.v. felt intuitively that it was important to manage this project personally, particularly for an important customer like Nabuurs with Michel as a new contact person. The cooperation was very pleasant. Short lines of communication, keeping to agreements and, above all, managing expectations well. Honesty, clarity and exchanging ideas with the customer to achieve a good product are appreciated. We will take the experience we have gained with us into account for future projects. Together with suppliers, we are constantly making improvements,” says Michel.
