"At Bert Plantagie, we develop and create customizable, stylish, and contemporary design furniture of the highest quality, made by our craftsmen in Europe. We specialize in dining chairs and tables and encourage our end customers to pursue their own style. This way, we produce over 2,000 unique pieces a week, and our products can be found in thousands of homes across the continent and beyond."

Why Mekrapid? "We started working with Mekrapid products 7 years ago. The quality of the products, the open communication, and the way Mekrapid thinks along with us kick-started the collaboration. Mekrapid just offered everything we needed to make things work."   Technical support included! "It is clear that at Mekrapid, technicians are at the helm and also handle communications. This way, problems are addressed immediately. For example, we are using the Piccolo auto-return swivel with at least four revisions or upgrades incorporated. There is a constant urge for improvement. We appreciate that questions are being answered swiftly and seriously. Challenges receive immediate and full attention, resulting in technical or logistical solutions or better substitutes.  We look forward to continuing and intensifying our collaboration and learning even more about Mekrapid's people and possibilities in the future." Dennis van Summeren, Head of Product Development at Bert Plantagie

Summer Greetings from Mekrapid   “The Constant Urge for Improvement”   Improvement is a true interest at Mekrapid, it is our greatest motto.   In the past year, we have made big changes and improvements. In December, we moved into our newly built office building. We now have modern personnel facilities and enough space to invite customers and cooperation partners to meetings and company visits.   This spring, we achieved our first certificate, the ISO14001 for Environmental Management Systems. By developing such an internal system, we will be able to meet the environmental requests that exist and are yet to come in our branch. Our customers are doing a great job of bearing responsibility for our nature, and when they chose Mekrapid as a supplier, they chose a serious and conscious companion in environmental matters, too. Our swivels are all made in Finland, durably.   Since 1974, we have had the pleasure of serving world-class companies around the world. This has given us the experience in knowing what is important for our customers, for example to "think along with them" . To celebrate the 50th anniversary of our company, we arranged a fest day for our acquaintances in May. The weather was great, and the fest people were happy—a magical day and evening indeed!   I wish all of you a joyful summertime and, finally, a warm welcome to visit Mekrapid. Fredrika Furu Managing Director
