Some say and believe, ‘’there is a reason for everything’’. We believe it when we see it and especially when we get to manufacture it. This is exactly what happened when we created Bolt.

He got his name due to his speed, and because he is handling hydro cloth.

Bolt is built on a skid frame, which in this case, placed next to our customers box machine.

The purpose why he has a reason to go up in the morning, is to fully automatically place a hydro cloth on top of the herbs inside the boxes they are packed in. When the box machine is slower, he will automatically move slower. When he notices that the box machine moves faster, he will speed up.

The relationship between Bolt and the box machine, was love at first sight. 

• Automated speed adjustment
• Can handle up to 1000 kg boxes

Cees van der Laan needed to find a suitable job to take care of his family of 17. While that was a job in itself, Cees found himself starting an Air Swing business at the local fair. Little did he know, this would give way to the start of something much bigger than swings.

Shortly after, Cees was the owner of three additional Air Swings which also needed proper trucks to transport them from town to town. Paul, one of Cees’s nine sons, was driving one of these trucks at night. At day he would seek out new rides at fairs all around the country. Occasionally, one of the old trucks would break down but before sending it to the garage, Paul would always take a look at it first to see if he could fix it. 

Paul developed a technical know-how by taking everything apart and trying to locate the problem. He would drive to Eindhoven to the Dutch Truck Factory (DAF) to gain knowledge in where to look and how to fix any issues he came across. Paul always said, “If you don’t try, you can’t fix anything!”
