Hiemens Bottling Machines

The workshop is down in the New Dlf Industrial Area, specifically at number 45. It’s usually pretty loud here because of all the metal and the testing we have to do. Hiemens Bottling Machines is basically just a place where we put together the equipment that helps other businesses put liquid into bottles. It sounds simple when you say it like that, but there are a lot of moving parts and valves that have to be just right. We’ve got some guys who have been doing this for years and some younger ones learning how to handle the stainless steel. The air in the industrial area always smells a bit like oil and burnt metal, which is something you get used to after the first week. We don’t have a fancy front office with coffee machines and soft chairs. Most of the space is taken up by half-finished machines and tools. If someone calls, we usually have to shout over the sound of a drill or a compressor. It’s honest work. We spend our mornings checking the inventory and our afternoons trying to figure out why a particular conveyor belt isn’t sitting straight. We aren't trying to impress anyone with big words or marketing. We just want the machines to leave here in good shape so we don’t get a call back saying something broke. It’s just how we do things in this part of town.
