247 Tailorsteel is a company founded in 2007; it started with a visionary entrepreneur and a few IT specialists. The vision was to create a platform were customers could upload their designs and select the required delivery date. Intelligent software would calculate the price and perform all work preparation automatically. It took almost 3 years before the portal was launched and the first steps were made to create a factory. It started with lasercutting  and now we are also performing plate bending and tubecutting in 3 highly automated facilities in Varsseveld, Oyten and Hilden.
