Ask any entrepreneur in infra if he cares about the safety of his personnel and he will say a resounding "yes." All too often, however, inferior safety clothing is used in the industry. Often this is a matter of not being familiar with how things can be done properly. Those who do not want to take a risk should pay a visit to HKV in Ochten. There you will find safety clothing and equipment that are among the absolute best when it comes to quality.
We speak to senior account manager Bert Oomen, who offers a sneak peek: "Do you know why our customers buy from us? Because we simply do what they ask for. We take away a piece of worry. We supply products that we produce or select ourselves, in order to guarantee maximum quality. In this, we go to the extreme, not only at the product level, but also in terms of service. We are a family business and place great value on people, their well-being and above all, their safety."
For those who like to see safety and quality go hand in hand, it's one-stop shopping at HKV
HKV supplies only A brands. A bestseller is the clothing line in RWS quality: "Under our brand-label Quest® we have this line manufactured in-house. All clothing meets the stringent requirements set by RWS. The user can expect the highest possible level of comfort, wind- and waterproofness and safety from every garment in this line. Of course we think about our social responsibility and produce this line with sustainable raw materials, in a sustainable way."
The choice is huge. The Quest® RWS clothing line includes jackets, (body) pants, (rain) coveralls, regular coveralls, winter coveralls and fleece jackets. "Everything to work safely, dry and warm 365 days a year," continued Oomen.
HKV is also an excellent choice for stickering and lettering of infra vehicles.
Being seen well is a focal point at HKV. "When we were asked in the past to supply a warning sign with 'Soft Verge' on it, we went into signing. We have since become a total supplier of everything with a logo, executed on all kinds of carriers. If desired, executed in reflective foil (e.g. road signs). Need car or facade lettering? The production unit that we started 7 years ago has no problem with that. That's the unique thing about HKV, we supply everything from thermal underwear to car lettering and from screwdriver to facade lettering."
Everyone can also turn to HKV for PPE: helmets, shoes, gloves, boots and glasses, even prescription glasses, it's one stop shopping for the infra professional. "Working safely runs like a thread through our company, with a strong focus on customer satisfaction. We are a full safety partner in infra for both small and large companies," Oomen says in conclusion. "From ZZP'er to multinational companies."
