Success Stories: Demeyere

Demeyere is a worldwide reference company for the production of culinary utensils in stainless steel that are widely used by professional and amateur chefs in Europe, America, Asia and Africa.The engineers of Demeyere design and develop, without compromise, the hardware cooking technologies that correspond with the requirements for each type of cooking method.

The production facilities must be of the same level of excellence as the cooking utensils.
The finishing of the edge of the pot and pans is a delicate matter and is a demanding manual operation.

Thanks to Optidrive’s technology, it is possible to automate this operation with robots, without loss of finishing quality.

"This project is an important step in the further automation of our production facility.  We are the team of Optidrive very grateful for the good collaboration.  Although they know their business very well, they are always willing to listen to our special desires."  - Paul Crevels, Head of production.
