Bike Republic promotes safe cycling

On 21 December - the shortest and therefore darkest day of the year - Bike Republic sent 11 influencers into the morning rush hour. Only this time it was not to get views on social media. They stood at dangerous cycle spots wearing a high-vis jacket and holding a reflective sign with a message to raise awareness. In this way, our bicycle specialist wants to highlight that, as a vulnerable road user, wearing high-vis is one of the most effective ways of avoiding accidents. In these dark days, the number of accidents resulting in injuries among vulnerable road users increases by 31 %. The number of badly injured people and deaths in this category has even increased by 57 %. “As Belgium's largest bicycle retailer, we want to assume our responsibility and undertake to raising awareness in this area”, Davy Claeys, marketing manager at Bike Republic, explains.

Dassenveld frozen food department in perfect order gain

The annual maintenance of the automatic frozen food department at Dassenveld was different this time. For the first time the Technics technicians joined forces with a number of operators, who work with the installation in the deep freeze area every day. “A nice example of how Technics and Supply Chain collaborate”, Colin Masson, maintenance engineer at Machinery, says. “Together, we know the installation inside out and can therefore intervene quickly should something go wrong. Moreover, the week before the major maintenance, Supply Chain colleagues increased their picking operations, thus limiting disruption during maintenance. These are challenging conditions in freezing temperatures, but the tests were successful: the machine was able to sort 3,000 packages an hour again.”
