Christine van der Weg, BSc, MBA
The wearer of all hats. Christine has experience in all aspects of the organization from running the looms, to customer service, accounting, operations management and human resource management. Since 2004 she has been a constant presence contributing to the well being and growth of the company. She can be seen at trade shows and is ready to answer questions. She is progressively taking over the reins and leading the company into the future.
Gerrit J. van der Weg, PhD, PEng
The sage, the old man of the company. The days of staying at work for almost 3 months straight when the company was started are far behind him. The physical energy levels may be lower, but the brains are still working fine. Physical tasks have now been transferred to the many skilled people who do the daily hands-on work. Gerrit is still guiding the way forward, the special projects, and the R&D. We keep innovating so we can meet the demands of our ever-evolving market. He has laid the base of a prosperous company since 2001. His in-depth knowledge of the weaving process, his experience in fiberglass R&D within a large North American Fiber producer, and his education as a Professional Engineer allow us to provide expert technical support to all our customers.
Our Team in Action
Behind every product is a team of dedicated professionals working with precision, care, and attention to detail. From weaving and production to quality control and shipping, every stage of our process is driven by people who take pride in their work.
We believe in fostering a culture of respect, collaboration, and continuous improvement—where every team member plays an important role in delivering the quality and reliability our customers expect.
