July 8, 2025, Werkendam, The Netherlands – As of April 2025, ANKRO Kunststof Verspaning has appointed a new branch director. Following a brief interim period, Jaap Vermunt has been officially named to lead the rapidly developing Werkendam facility. With his background as Supply Chain Manager within the BKB Precision Group, he brings valuable expertise, structure, and a clear vision for growth and collaboration.
Over the past 25 years, ANKRO has built a strong reputation in the region, known for its craftsmanship, quality, and long-term customer relationships. The company has been part of the BKB Precision Group for the past three years, a move that has enabled further investment in modernization and expansion. Most recently, ANKRO has expanded its production capacity to include 5-axis machining — a technological advancement that allows the company to better meet customer needs in an increasingly competitive market.
Jaap Vermunt on his new role:
“What truly sets ANKRO apart is our team: a group of young, driven professionals who work with great precision on turning and milling projects in medium to large series. Our strength lies in our teamwork, where colleagues encourage each other to grow within their areas of expertise. That culture of growth and craftsmanship is the heartbeat of our organization.”
ANKRO operates a modern and well-maintained machinery fleet housed in a spacious and clean factory in Werkendam. The working environment aligns perfectly with the team's professional ambitions and the high-quality expectations of its clients.
Under Jaap Vermunt’s leadership, the focus in 2025 will be on further strengthening the company’s foundation. Across the BKB Precision Group, there is a strong emphasis on digitization and automation to make processes more efficient and future-proof. With these developments, ANKRO aims to position itself even more strongly as a leading partner for series-based plastic turning and milling work — all while preserving the personal touch and technical depth the brand has long stood for.
