Greater efficiency for precision CNC machining
Metaalbewerking Marchand BV combines modern CNC machining with a commitment to flexible, precise and cost-effective manufacturing. To further optimise material flow, storage and cutting operations, the family-run company invested in a KASTOecostore bar storage system and a KASTOwin A 4.6 sawing machine. The result: more efficient processes, faster delivery performance and additional capacity to support future growth in metalworking.

Van Hoorn Machining is KASTO’s official representative in the Netherlands and Belgium. The company supports customers with expert advice, service and solutions for sawing applications and material storage. This customer case study was prepared by Van Hoorn Machining and presents the collaboration from the perspective of our partner.
Modern sawing technology creates new capacity
Marchand manufactures small and medium-sized workpieces as well as customised CNC machining solutions. To respond even more flexibly to customer requirements and produce larger batches with precision and cost efficiency, the company placed greater emphasis on material storage and cutting. The KASTOecostore long product storage system enables Marchand to purchase larger quantities of material more economically and store them more efficiently. The KASTOwin A 4.6 sawing machine also speeds up the production process. As a result, Marchand gains additional capacity, can deliver more quickly and take on further orders. The reliable collaboration with Van Hoorn Machining is particularly valuable, supporting Marchand as it continues to expand and optimise its processes.

Collaboration with Van Hoorn Machining
A successful company needs reliable partners – and for Marchand, Van Hoorn Machining is one of them. The initial contact came through existing customers, including Wilfried Watzeels from Ninove and Hydrauliek Morreels NV from Ronse, who shared their positive experiences with Van Hoorn as well as with the KASTO storage system and KASTO sawing machine. This reinforced Marchand’s decision to invest in a KASTOecostore long product storage system in 2021, followed by a KASTOwin A 4.6 sawing machine in 2024.
Improvements through targeted investment
The investment in modern storage systems and sawing machines has delivered tangible benefits. Today, the company can purchase larger quantities of material on more favourable terms and store them more efficiently. This has made production more flexible and enables Marchand to deliver more quickly.
The addition of the KASTOwin A 4.6 sawing machine has also increased production speed. This has created additional capacity, allowing Marchand to take on new orders and support further growth. At the same time, it has improved the level of service provided to customers.
Reliable service
Thomas Marchand rates the collaboration with Van Hoorn Machining very positively. In his view, Van Hoorn stands out in particular for its service and reliability. “At present, we see no need for improvement. Everything our industry colleagues told us about Van Hoorn Machining is consistent with our own experience. We are a satisfied customer,” says Marchand.
