Company Profile

1. Foreword

Our main objectives outlined in the Indusign business plan in 1990 were directed toward design engineering and consulting within the heavy equipment machinery and construction business. Due to excellent references from our customers and especially their critical feedback we were able to redirect, improve and further grow the business. We have been cooperating as partners with our customers from the start.

Because of our success and increasing interest in our core business (E-Crane™), in 1997 we developed a new master business plan which provided for large capital investments to improve the quality of our engineering design tools, quality and reliability of our E-Crane™ and significant improvements in marketing and sales management. Today, Indusign has added two (2) subsidary companies dedicated to providing technical support and sales management for all E-Crane™ related activities in Europe and America.

Today, Indusign offers worldclass material handling solutions that include more than just a crane. We work closely with the client to improve his productivity and lower operating cost. Indusign is responsible for design, production, assembly, testing, machine erection…..to commissioning.

2. History

1990 : Foundation of the NV Indusign

The foundation of Indusign was planned from a reconstruction of the Sobemai NV and Sobecon NV at the end of the 80s. Indusign was able to consolidate the extensive knowledge, experience and expertise from both companies into the new organization.
During the first few years several significant projects were completed and the equilibrium crane product line was further developed and refined. Several other well know products developed during this period give evidence to the quality of Indusign's engineering (Kennis truck-cranes, PLM mobile harbour cranes,...).

Indusign, young, dynamic and very experienced

1992 - 1993 : Hard times initiate a new start

After the bankruptcy and liquidation of Sobemai NV and Sobecon NV in early 1992 Indusign needed to re-establish. E-CraneTM manufacturing. Production was moved to Germany (Kranbau Eberswalde - Berlin).
This together with the experience and enthusiasm of the Indusign team lead to several orders for revision, reconstruction and upgrading of existing machines in the interior or abroad.
