Timeline
The start
Herman Wehkamp and Peter Lenferink decided to set up Manter International in 1995. They rented an office with a lodge for the production of the machines and got started right away with a small but highly motivated team. The photo was taken in late 1995.
New location
After a successful start, a new building could be built on the industrial estate in Emmen after 4 years. This building had a 1375 m2 production hall and offered enough office space for our growing business.
Hall 2
Continued growth forced Manter to expand. Therefore, Hall 2 was built, this new hall was a doubling of the production space.
Hall 3
In addition to the need for a larger production hall we also needed more office space. Therefore, Hall 3 was built along with the necessary office space and Manter was equipped with a brand new canteen.
Hall 4
Due to the growing need for production space, Hall 4 was built. This hall is mainly set up as an additional warehouse and for storage of machinery that is ready for transport. This allows the production halls to be used optimally for production.
The first ‘Manter Dealer Days’
Two Dealer Days followed by a Business Relation Day and finally a Family & Friends Day. This event focused on personal connection with our associates. They were very valuable and successful days.
