The Fabricator | Automation spurs a novel approach to the sheet metal enclosure
From a facility with stand-alone laser cutting systems, punch presses, punch and laser combos, and rows of welding cells and press brakes into a fully automated electrical enclosure factory. Read the automation journey of nVent, a customer both WEMO and AWL successfully supplied with their strong partnership and experience.
Behind the scenes at the ABB Striebel & John project
One of the most recent projects in which WEMO and AWL collaborated was the ABB Striebel & John (S&J) project. We asked Jules van Hooijdonk (Project Leader at WEMO), Harold van Pinxteren (Project Manager at WEMO) and René van de Meeberg (Project Manager at AWL) about their experience with the project and what strengths they saw with the merging of these two excellent Dutch machine builders.
“For this project, we were looking for a high level of automation. We looked for the best providers in technology, project management, quality, and budget. I am happy with our choice. To manage such a project, we couldn’t have done it any better ourselves. I am still in good contact with WEMO and AWL. They are always happy to support, even on weekends.”

Interview with the CEOs
With this unique value proposition for the Electrical Enclosures and Power Distribution industry, the Dutch AWL and WEMO opt for a proactive collaboration to further automate productivity and flexibility in our customers’ production process.
“We still see a lot of manual labor and batch production in the Electrical Enclosure and Power Distribution industry,” the CEOs of both companies indicate. “So productivity can improve.” We spoke with both gentlemen, Brand van ‘t Hof, CEO of AWL and Jeff Hagelen, CEO of WEMO, about the collaboration, the concept and the added value this partnership provides to our customers.
