Either with the production of an end product or with the preparation of a semi manufactured product. From packing to packaging, diecutting and diemaking materials or machinery always plays a part in the process. No wonder Sosform has become a familiar face, throughout the years, in many branches where it is a must to be sharp.<\/p>\n<p>Also in your branch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Everything in our own hands<\/strong><br \/>\nThe sharpness of Sosform can be found in all sections of the company, also in stock supply and the very short delivery times. All common brands and products are available from stock. This offers us the opportunity to always supply you with a high quality alternative, if required. Also the presence of an in-house Technical Service Department quickens the process of your order: installation, training, guidance and service are all in our own hands.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"column one-second\">\n<div class=\"accordion\"><div class=\"mfn-acc accordion_wrapper \"><br \/>\n<div class=\"question\"><div class=\"title\"><i class=\"icon-plus acc-icon-plus\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-minus acc-icon-minus\"><\/i>History<\/div><div class=\"answer\"><br \/>\n<strong>1965<\/strong> Founded on July 1st, 1965 by Wim van der Schoot.
