EKB
For fifty years, EKB has offered solutions in the field of industrial automation to the Dutch process and manufacturing industry. In addition to the Beverwijk branch, there are branches in Drachten, Houten, Someren and Haaksbergen, each with its own specialization. Panel building is still one of the services, but in the meantime the service has expanded to providing total solutions for our customers such as automating production lines and complete factories. In addition to 'traditional' automation solutions (such as PLC/Scada work), EKB is increasingly focusing on digitizing production processes.
Why Techport?
Erik Schoonbergen, branch manager: "We think it is important to promote technology among students and to invest in technology training. This is the reason we are affiliated with Techport. In addition, the network of local technical companies is important for innovation in the region. Moreover, as a partner we have access to the Fieldlab Smart Maintenance, which allows us to share knowledge with other partners. Within this network, we hope to make use of the knowledge present in all partners, so that together we can improve innovations and make IJmond an important innovation region. In addition, we hope that the promotion of engineering courses will ensure a good influx of technical talent."
