At Coulisse Retail, our commitment to corporate social responsibility shines through our Inclusive Production (IP) initiative in Aalten. This small-scale manufacturing facility, just 45 minutes from our Enter headquarters, employs individuals with disabilities and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. We spoke with Koen Wellink to gain insights into this inspiring operation.
"We specialize in manufacturing high-quality roller blinds for the DIY market, adhering to Coulisse's exacting standards."
"We're a diverse group of approx. 50, employees including a management team and production employees with various disabilities. Our inclusive environment fosters equality and creates a safe, enjoyable workplace for all."
"It's twofold. First, witnessing the pride our employees take in their work is incredibly satisfying. Their dedication shines through every step of the production process. Secondly, I love the variety my role offers in our close-knit team."
"Our small-scale setup allows for exceptional flexibility. We can efficiently handle both small orders of slow-moving items and large quantities of popular products. This agility enables us to meet short delivery times without compromising on Coulisse's high-quality standards."
"Our primary challenge is balancing production demands with the needs of our employees, who may struggle with sudden changes due to their disabilities. We also navigate global supply chain issues, ensuring timely production despite occasional material shortages."
"Inclusive Production is a testament to Coulisse's commitment to social responsibility and inclusivity. We're not just manufacturing blinds; we're creating opportunities and fostering a sense of purpose for individuals who might otherwise face barriers in the workforce."
This initiative exemplifies how Coulisse Retail combines business excellence with social impact, creating value for our customers while making a positive difference in our community.
