As the global agricultural industry continues to adapt to new challenges and opportunities, the demand for innovative equipment is on the rise. Among the tools seeing increased interest are scissor trolleys, essential for optimizing labor efficiency and safety in modern greenhouse operations. Willem, a seasoned employee at Berg who has been with the company for 25 years, has witnessed this growing trend firsthand. His role involves assembling the mechanical components of Berg’s BeNomic Star, a state-of-the-art scissor trolley that is quickly becoming a favorite among growers worldwide.
Willem’s journey at Berg began in 1998 as a sprayer and powder coater. Over the years, he has honed his expertise in assembling both the scissor mechanisms and the trolleys themselves. “I assemble the trolley from the bare frame to a complete unit,” Willem explains. “I build the scissors so they function exactly as they should, ensuring that the final product meets the high standards our customers expect.”
The BeNomic Star is designed to enhance efficiency and safety in greenhouses, where workers often need to reach elevated crops or perform tasks at various heights. This equipment is crucial in environments focused on sustainable and scalable vegetable production, where every detail matters in achieving optimal yields.
Continuous Improvement and Market Growth
Willem’s dedication to his craft goes beyond mere assembly; he plays an active role in the ongoing development and refinement of the BeNomic Star. “I see myself as someone who signals potential improvements,” he says. Willem is not just content with assembling a reliable product—he actively communicates with his colleagues about ways to make the BeNomic even better. This commitment to continuous improvement is part of what has kept him enthusiastic about his work for over two decades.
The global market for agricultural equipment, particularly in sustainable practices, is experiencing a resurgence. Willem notes, “You can see that the market worldwide is in motion again.” This observation is supported by the increasing inquiries and orders for Berg’s scissor trolleys, indicating that growers are investing in equipment that supports efficient, sustainable operations.
Collaboration as a Key to Success
Willem emphasizes the importance of teamwork in driving innovation and meeting the demands of the agricultural sector. “It’s important to stay on top of things and keep thinking about what can be improved,” he says. He also highlights the significance of listening to feedback from the field. “You can’t do it alone; we do it together,” Willem remarks, reflecting the collaborative culture at Berg that contributes to the company’s long-standing success.
As the demand for high-quality, sustainable agricultural solutions grows, the BeNomic Star stands out as a key player in the market. With dedicated professionals like Willem behind its development, Berg is well-positioned to continue leading in the industry, providing essential tools that help farmers and growers worldwide optimize their operations.
