So, what is the challenge at Enduro that you find so great? 

First of all, no two days are the same. You might spend the whole day working on a specific task, and then at the end of the day, you have to rush to the Eemshaven for an urgent repair. Sometimes even to England. I thrive on that ability to switch gears quickly and work under stress. I love having to arrange things urgently. Sometimes a customer calls for a quick job, and it can be quite thrilling to see if we can make it happen. It is an amazing feeling when we manage to pull it off in the end! That’s also why customers come to us to begin with. 

Is being able to switch gears quickly the main advantage of Enduro? 

That has been the case in recent years. But you can see development happening, both in the market and at Enduro. When it comes to length tolerances, for example, they have become much more important. With the development of our production methods, we are now capable of producing with much greater precision. In recent years, there has also been an increased focus on R&D. I enjoy brainstorming with our R&D manager, Sisto, and to bring theory and practice together.

Is that also the future for Enduro, the connection between technical knowledge and practical experience? 

I think that information about factors like elongation and stretch and how our softslings perform under workload will become increasingly important to customers. When you see how accurately we can produce within length tolerances, that’s where we can truly differentiate ourselves. It’s the combination of producing with super precision and still being able to switch gears quickly – simply by making it happen even when it seems impossible – that is our strength! That’s what makes us Enduro.
