As a child, Niels Hoffard was determined to become an inventor. He was constantly thinking up new things. For him there was no question: he wanted to become the new Gyro Gearloose. So it was no surprise that after high school he chose to study chemistry. Now Niels has been working at DuFor for 12.5 years, where he currently fulfills the role of technical director. It’s his “ultimate dream job”. Why is that? You can read all about it here.

Making the world a little better together and ensuring a circular economy. That’s a mission that both DuFor and Keykeg fully support.  So it’s no surp...

To support our customers in various development projects even better, we have expanded our machine park with a brand new, custom-made twin screw KM-Extruder. It’s not only a great asset for our R&D staff, but also for our customers. Read on to find out why.

Joyce Hagedoorn has been working at DuFor for over ten years. And it’s obvious that she likes it here, if you hear her talk about her work and the company. And that’s something she could never have imagined beforehand, as she comes from the world of fashion and has a completely different background. So what makes working at DuFor so much fun? Joyce is more than happy to tell you!

At DuFor, we are constantly improving. Behind the scenes, we work continuously on optimizing polyesters and its applications. This way, we keep working on a responsible future, while serving more and more markets. Sustainability and making a positive contribution to the future are important to us. That’s also why we closely monitor changes in the market. This includes the European Commission's action plan for the circular economy which contains targets for plastic packaging.

And for example, from 2025 onwards all PET bottles must contain at least 25% recycled content and in 2030 this will be 30%.

For several years, DuFor has been working together with Nedcam, and our cooperation has expanded over time. Not only do we supply the necessary materials for 3D printing, but we have also entered into a grant program together, with NHL Stenden and NLR, for the development of 3D printable materials that can be used in high quality construction applications. The cooperation with Nedcam is one that not only we are very happy with, but also Erwin van Maaren, director at Nedcam. Read further to hear his thoughts.

Can you imagine driving over a 3D printed bridge in ten years or so? At DuFor we do, because we continue to develop. For example, for the past year we have been developing 3D printable materials that can be used in high-quality construction applications. For this, we are working together with NEDCAM. Through a European subsidy project - in which NHL Stenden and NLR are also participating - we are replacing thermoset composites that can be used for construction.

We are pleased to announce that after a successful audit, we have been recertified once again to the latest ISO 9001:2015 standard. This accreditation...
