Welcome to the April edition of the Straaltechniek newsletter. This month, we’re pleased to share a range of updates that highlight the continued progress, dedication, and teamwork across the business.
From key project milestones, including a successful Factory Acceptance Test at our manufacturing facility, to the delivery of multiple systems to customer sites, April has been a busy and productive month for the team.
We also take a moment to recognise and celebrate the people behind our success, including marking the retirement of a long-standing colleague whose contribution has made a lasting impact.
As always, thank you for your continued support and interest in Straaltechniek.
Double Delivery Success This Month
This month marked a significant achievement for our team, as we successfully completed the delivery of not just one, but two key pieces of equipment to separate customer sites.
A refurbished table machine and an automatic recovery system were both carefully prepared, transported, and delivered, ready for installation at their locations.
This accomplishment reflects the strong teamwork, coordination, and planning demonstrated by everyone involved. Their combined efforts ensured a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.
A great result and a testament to the team’s commitment and collaboration.
Factory Acceptance Test Completed
Last week, our Managing Director, Andy visited Croatia to conduct a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) at our machine manufacturing facility. This represents a significant milestone in the production process, ensuring that the machine fulfills all necessary performance and quality criteria before shipment. A big thank you to everyone on-site for their dedication and support in reaching this vital stage. We are another step closer to delivery!
Thank You, Jay – A Remarkable Career
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jay for his 16 years of dedication at Straaltechniek.
After an incredible 38 years in the Surface Preparation Industry and 48 years of continuous employment, Jay officially retired on 2nd April 2026. His knowledge, experience, and guidance have made a lasting impact across the team, and he has built strong relationships with colleagues and customers alike.
We marked the occasion with a night out at the dogs and a buffet on his final working day to show our appreciation for everything he has contributed.
While Jay has retired from his front-facing role, we’re pleased that he will continue to support the business behind the scenes, sharing his valuable expertise and guidance on ongoing projects.
We thank Jay for his commitment and wish him a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement.
