As a little girl living in the Polish countryside, I was a very good sales person in the school’s candy shop. Of course part of the profit disappeared in my mouth, but that is a pleasant detail … And now I am in a completely other line of business, mesh products, a great learning experience. However, occasionally I feel like the little candy seller again, as one my most favourite things to do is to go to the factory. To me it feels like the excitement of a school trip, or even more, I feel like a character in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the wonderful book by Roald Dahl. There is so much to see, and every time I discover something new. So today, I want to take you along on a trip to my favourite magic place, the one where our mesh panels are created.

How many risks are there in the workplace and does a totally safe workplace actually exist? Is it enough to have warning tape on forklifts, should there be specific lines on the floor indicating where forklifts may drive, or should ceiling lights be illuminated to ensure safety?

It may seem that Martin Luther King, Steve Jobs and the Wright brothers have little in common, but they had an important common denominator: They had a clear why for doing what they did.

Companies invest a lot of money in automating production lines and order picking. They often combine many ambitions. Then down the line come the mesh panels guarding the machines. Creating safety and simplifying everyday life.

The work of buyers, sellers and manufacturers of machine guards and rear mesh is really all about improving workplace safety.

Can we lower the height of the safety mesh here? Can we add hinges and angle the mesh here? Can we increase the clearance as there are conveyor systems that go in and out of the machine here? Can we create a fitting for this type of switch? Yes, of course we can! There’s always some kind of obstacle when creating a safety layout. This can be anything from an uneven floor to the fact that there are already several structures, such as beams, blocking the locations of the safety mesh.

Our product range has been given several updates this spring. We have released new sliding doors for our machine guards. These can be adapted in height and width to suit any project perfectly. Two versions are available: bottom running with free opening height and top rail for larger dimensions.
