MY FATHER STARTED THE COMPANY IN 2000. HE WAS A PRODUCT DEVELOPER FOR SEVERAL COMPANIES AND WANTED TO START HIS OWN BUSINESS. THIS IS HOW GROBBENHAAR DEVELOPING MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS STARTED. I STARTED AS AN EMPLOYEE OF MY FATHER AND AFTER A FEW YEARS I BECAME CO-OWNER. IN THE EARLY YEARS, WE MAINLY FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING AND MANUFACTURING MUSIC MUTES AND SUPPORTING STICKS FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. WE ALSO CARRY OUT CONVENTIONAL LATHE AND MILLING WORK, AS WELL AS LIGHT CONSTRUCTION AND WELDING WORK.
IN 2011, MY FATHER RESIGNED FROM THE COMPANY AND I CONTINUED AS A SELF-EMPLOYED PERSON. I STILL MAKE THE CAREFORWINDS PRODUCTS, BUT THE CORE BUSINESS IS METALWORKING
MY ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:
- MILLING (CONVENTIONAL AND CNC)
- TURNING (CONVENTIONAL)
- WELDING
- SHEET METAL (CONSTRUCTION WORK)
- MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
- ASSEMBLY WORK
- MACHINE MAINTENANCE
