Sheet metal workers shape sheet material into precision parts. At a Trumpf, LVD or Amada press brake you hit angles to within a tenth of a degree, and you also know how to run the laser and punching line. In Breda you're close to manufacturing, logistics and food — the A16/A27/A58 motorway junction. FlexHero places skilled workers here every day — mainly from other EU countries — with housing in the region and transport to the workplace.
