De Boer broadens horizons in pandemic
“ There were supply issues too , with steel coming from Turkey , and wood from Latvia . We had major problems on the border – it was stressful as it was stuck for six days . It ’ s getting worse to source supplies . We try and change materials to more composites , they tend to be cheaper , lighter and environmentally friendly . The importance of weight reduction is getting more and more important .”
While much of its work is on site , it is adopting the hybrid model for office-based staff . “ The pandemic made us realise you can create a lot of efficiencies and also understand the limitations of zoom and teams . Whether it ’ s discussing technical options , or negotiating big deals with customers – you have to go there and be on the same table .”
Today Losberger De Boer focuses strongly on Europe , Middle East and US , the latter presenting openings in the military sector . Sustainability is also providing untapped opportunities .
