Representatives of our Flanders-based partner De Clerck Windows and Doors got a chance to see the Roto design, manufacturing and logistics process up close on a recent visit to our group headquarters in Leinfelden.
The facility, based near Stuttgart, has a production site with advanced technology, automation and lean manufacturing processes. The Roto NX tilt and turn system is one of the main product groups manufactured at the site.
“We have recently started working with Roto”, explains director Frederik De Clerck. “The Roto NX tilt&turn with Designo concealed hinge is one of the hardware systems that attracted us, so it has been very interesting to see how it is made from raw material to finished product”.
“We had high expectations of this visit, and we have to say the Roto team have met them all. Everything they do is all about “Deutsche Gründlichkeit” or German thoroughness. All we have seen within the production site is impressive, especially the degree of automation. We can also see how much Roto engineers work to ensure product quality, with a lot of testing taking place.
“Another aspect we really appreciated was the showroom experience, where we got to see the huge variety of Roto products that are available for windows, doors and sliding systems. Thanks to Gerry and the team from Roto Western Europe for arranging this”.
Gerry Claassens, Sales Manager for Roto Benelux, said, “It is an honour for us to have De Clerck as a partner. The company has been making high quality windows and doors for over 50 years. We are pleased they have chosen to work with us and to use Roto NX. We look forward to a productive collaboration over the years ahead”.
Roto Marketing Specialist Subana Akhmedova accompanied the sales team at this meeting. “It was my first visit to a Roto production site”, she said. “It has been very informative for me. Our German colleagues always host these events very professionally, with good explanations of how everything works. For our clients, these visits help to build trust by allowing them to see all of the factory’s capabilities and our commitment to quality, efficiency and safety.”
