WHERE IT ALL STARTS
Our process starts with raw materials from the best suppliers.
The crucial thing is what we do with those materials.
At Danpoort, we make abrasive materials to exact customer
specifications. We achieve this with dedicated staff and our
modern and advanced machinery. There are no limits to our
service and flexibility, we control and manage all aspects
ourselves. As you would expect, we provide advice and
suggestions for more effective and more efficient grinding and
sanding processes. It all starts with approaching challenges
from our customer’s perspective.

TAILOR-MADE
Danpoort supplies tailor-made products. Abrasive belts
ranging from 6 mm to 1.4 metres wide and from 30 cm
to 20 metres in length. Our abrasive belts are tailor-made
for each and every application. Enormously challenging!
We make abrasive belts with almost imperceptible joints:
that is our expertise and our “commitment” to the customer.
In addition to abrasive belts, we also supply abrasive rolls,
discs and sheets in any size required.

TIGHT PRODUCTION
CONTROL
Delivery lead times are short at Danpoort. This is
because we control all aspects of our production.
We keep a generous stock of raw materials and
basics from which we make the required final
products to individual order. As a result, we are
extremely flexible and dependable. Danpoort is
synonymous with quality, service and reliability.

FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS
At Danpoort, we want full control of all the operational
processes within the company. We continuously
monitor raw materials, orders, production, finance,
utilisation of staff and machine capacity, quality and
our delivery times. We regularly analyse our internal
processes and performance. This puts us in full control
of our organisation and allows us to guarantee you,
our customer, the ultimate in reliability.
