Not a standard company
Vepa is part of the Fair Furniture Group with a total of 600 employees spread over production sites in Hoogeveen (NL), Emmen (NL), Wijchen (NL), Breda (NL) en Telford (UK). Production is entirely in-house and the management’s vision and approach is down-to-earth and headstrong. That means innovating and investing where possible. The people at Vepa are characterised by cooperating and thinking along in a practical way. For instance, they help decide on the purchase of new CNC machines, help with installation and eventually repair them themselves. So a lot is expected of the production workers. And they like that, because they know they are listened to. Janwillem de Kam, director of Vepa: “Our employees have a great sense of responsibility and show a lot of initiative: the basis for good cooperation and efficient production. We do it together.””
No standard people
Finding committed and well-qualified employees has become increasingly difficult in recent years. Janwillem de Kam, director of Vepa: “There are plenty of people who want to work for us, but people with the right knowledge and motivation are almost impossible to find. Proper knowledge of CNC machines, upholstering complicated chairs, devising and drawing technical constructions and exports that require a different market approach and logistics. These are just a few pain points. Vepa has become big by staying innovative and it is precisely this flexibility that is our success factor. Our only goal is to get a little better every year. But that is only possible with the right people, with the right knowledge and attitude.”
