Strategy of GBS Gearbox Services international

Market driven growth and innovation
Schaaf- en Boorwerk Rotterdam BV will on the basis of existing position in machining operations increase revenue by expanding its service activities. This growth will be accelerated by innovation in different target markets.

Machining operations
Schaaf- en Boorwerk Rotterdam BV would also like to increase the share of specialized machining operations in its portfolio. In this context, the definition of specialties will be tightened. Soon we will first invest in new machinery for defined specialized machining operations. In addition to an expectation of growth in existing services, revenue will be doubled within 3 years by focusing on the new specialties.

Mechanical Services and Engineering Services
In addition to the existing machining capacity, in 2009 a unit is formed to provide service to high mechanical equipment, both on location of the customer and in our own workshop. Therefore an department is started to provide the service activities with engineering knowhow.

Extension housing
Also in 2008 the first plans for a major expansion of our facility are started to make room for the growth initiated in the coming years.
