Years of Trust and Co-Creation: Wezenberg Transport and Numafa
Wezenberg Transport operates as a transport company specialized in refrigerated transport and distribution of fresh produce (AGF) and food products, both nationally and internationally. In addition to transport, the company provides storage, cross-docking, and handling of temperature-controlled products and dry goods. In an operation where downtime is not an option, a stable and efficient washing installation is essential.
Wezenberg Transport has partnered with Numafa for many years, from the washing installation to the centrifuge, which plays a critical role. When the existing centrifuge no longer met current requirements, the team quickly decided to upgrade.
‘In our entire process, the centrifuge can easily become a bottleneck. It must meet the requirements to ensure efficient drying.’ Ellen van de Mars, Data Analyst at Wezenberg Transport
Wezenberg Transport’s Choice for Numafa: A Long-Term Relationship as the Foundation
Wezenberg Transport has worked with Numafa for many years – not only for the centrifuge, but for the entire washing installation. When the upgrade became necessary, the team carefully considered several options, but quickly made a final decision. Their long-standing relationship and positive experiences with Numafa played a key role.
In a market with multiple suppliers, this level of trust does not come naturally. Strong collaboration has created long-term continuity.
Transparent Communication and Involvement During the Build Process
Upgrading a critical component requires clear coordination. Numafa communicated the delivery date early, which allowed Wezenberg Transport to align its planning accordingly.
Numafa also invited Wezenberg Transport to follow the build process closely during construction of the new centrifuge.
This level of involvement goes beyond a standard customer relationship. It builds trust and improves the final result, as the team understands what is being built and why they make certain decisions.
Co-Creation: From User Experience to a Better Machine
During the upgrade, Numafa actively used the knowledge of Wezenberg Transport. The team integrated insights from the previous centrifuge directly into the new design. They also implemented improvement points from daily operations.
This approach shows how long-term collaboration – combined with a deep understanding of the entire washing installation -leads to better solutions.
‘We really appreciated that Numafa incorporated our experience from the previous centrifuge into the new one. This allowed us to contribute.’ Ellen van de Mars, Data Analyst at Wezenberg Transport
A More Stable Installation, Less Risk of Bottlenecks
The new centrifuge delivers exactly what the process requires: more stable operation. If a disruption occurs, the team can resolve it quickly and easily. In a 24/7 operation focused on refrigerated transport, this makes a crucial difference between a smooth process and costly delays.
With this investment, Wezenberg Transport aims to create a more stable and efficient washing installation and structurally reduce a major bottleneck. By working with Numafa as a partner for both the washing installation and the centrifuge, the company benefits from a single point of contact who understands the entire process.
‘Numafa is highly recommended. You actively help us find the right solutions.’ Ellen van de Mars, Data Analyst at Wezenberg Transport
