History

We started in in 1996/97 with a second-hand winding machine in an old barn in Poeldijk, the Netherlands. In 2005, we moved our company to Egypt. We now have 5000 m2 business space in the Free Zone, near the port of Alexandria. Our large number of wrapping machines are operated by our 100 permanent employees, and 50 extra employees in high season.

In addition to winding machines and galvanizing units, we acquired a rope machine a year ago. Since then, everything is made in-house.

In 2005, we also started the production of 'the hook with tail'. The reason behind this is that we had submitted a request to the holder of the 'free fall hooks' patent in Belgium. This request was rejected and as a result we were forced to develop our own wrapping method. This is how our own patent came about. After having developed different wrapping methods (including a rail system intended as a machine plant guidance system), the "hook with tail" idea per layer or per box turned out to be a very workable system. The system is now patented worldwide.

The Easy Hook system

The Easy Hook system is a tomato hook with a so-called "free fall". This free fall is made to the correct length at the request of the customer. The free fall of all hooks in the package are collected in a "tail" which is wrapped with cover. The tail is hung from the box while hanging in the tomato greenhouse. The employee then only has to hang the hooks. The free fall is automatically guided out of the box. The Easy Hook is very efficient to use.

Durability

The Easy Hook is the most durable high-wire hook on the market. What distinguishes the Easy Hook from other hook systems?

At the end of every season, all used high-wire hooks are returned, free of charge. The hooks are transported back to our factory in Egypt. There, they are stripped of the remaining rope and galvanized again. The hooks are provided with new rope and transported back to the Netherlands. The old rope is reprocessed and sold as household rope at the local market. Easy Hooks are new hooks, produced without wasting raw materials.
