Visiting Buroform: a printing company as a learning experience

What exactly goes on in a print shop? The answer to that question was given to the fifth-year students of the Scheppers Institute Mechelen during a tour of Buroform. Project manager Johan Vloeberghs imagined himself in front of the classroom for an hour.

The Scheppers Institute Mechelen set out for a day in the Mechelen-North industrial park. In a handful of companies, fifth-year Economics students there were extensively introduced to different sectors. Buroform also enjoyed a visit. We had twenty-five students and two teachers over, who wanted to know all about the ins and outs of our print shop.

“Buroform is a company that focuses on quality, customization and good customer relations.”

What does working at Buroform entail and what is the personnel policy like? What about the competition? How does a modern print company deal with digitization and how will it affect the future? These and other questions were expertly answered by our project manager Johan Vloeberghs.

“Buroform couples the power of an enormously varied machinery with a thoughtful vision and warm corporate culture that radiates to all who come in contact with it.”

Thomas Derynck of the Scheppers Institute: “Buroform is a company that focuses on quality, customization and good customer relations. It does this successfully, which is far from obvious in a sector that is constantly evolving and in which there is a lot of competition. The students were impressed by what they got to see and hear. Some printing presses are more than fifty years old. Something like that obviously captures the imagination. Buroform combines the power of an enormously varied machine park with a well thought-out vision and warm corporate culture that radiates to everyone who comes into contact with it. Young people with an entrepreneurial heart can learn a lot from this.”
