After two years with the company, he moved to a similar role with wholesale metals and minerals provider MCB and was promoted to human resources manager in 2007 and facility manager three years later. He left MCB in 2013 for automotive supplier Be-Ge where he was appointed general manager of the car seat division. In 2019, he joined materials manufacturing company Van Voorden Foundry as a director, leaving after three years for NTS.

Heuvelmans added: “The company has built a strong reputation in lifting technology over many years. Our broad product range also puts us in an excellent position to meet the needs of both current and future markets. This is reflected, among other things, in our sustainable, electrically powered products under the motto ‘Böcker Goes Green’.”
