YEPP

About YEPP

YEPP is an established name in Turnhout for parquet, laminate, and vinyl flooring. They supply high-quality flooring for professionals and private individuals, and have a strong reputation for customization and sustainable craftsmanship. A-kwadraat has been part of their production chain for more than 25 years: a collaboration that feels natural to co-owner Ive Gevers.

How we strengthen YEPP together

A-kwadraat supports YEPP precisely where extra capacity or specialized processing is required. Especially in the following areas:

• cutting solid and multi-layer parquet to size
• complex operations and customization
• pressing tablets for multi-layer parquet, stair treads, and countertops

When YEPP's production peaks, we act as a buffer. We take care of the initial processing, such as sawing, cutting to length, or preparation, after which YEPP further finishes the materials in their drying chambers.

“When I started here, YEPP was already working with A-kwadraat. The collaboration is simply part of who we are,” says Ive. “Their machinery and infrastructure enable us to offer customers larger volumes and more complex customization without having to make heavy investments ourselves.”

How we work together

What makes this collaboration special is how smoothly both teams work together. If YEPP's sawmill cannot handle the volume, they immediately call in A-kwadraat. The materials are delivered, processed, and later picked up again for drying and further finishing.

Proximity plays a huge role in this: Gierle and Turnhout are barely five minutes apart. This means we can literally switch gears within half an hour if a plank is missing or an order needs to be expedited.

"We know exactly what we can expect from each other," says Ive. "If we have something urgent, A-kwadraat is there immediately. And vice versa."

The added value of A-kwadraat

For YEPP, A-kwadraat brings much more than just extra hands. We strengthen their production in four crucial areas:

• Flexibility & continuity
  Our wood department handles peak periods and ensures that YEPP never has to turn down an order.
• Specialized customization and machinery
  Thanks to our machinery, such as tablet presses, YEPP can offer products that they cannot manufacture internally.
• Proximity & speed
  Short delivery distances ensure minimal transport costs and maximum efficiency.
• Quality that matches
  YEPP sees no difference between its own output and that of A-kwadraat. "The quality level is identical," emphasizes Ive. "Many of our employees even have a background in custom work companies, so we speak the same language."

How we make an impact together

Our collaboration enables YEPP to deliver an even broader and more sustainable range of products. While YEPP invests in ecological solutions, such as LED lighting, pellets, and a wind turbine that powers the drying rooms with green electricity, we complement that mission with local, social, and efficient customization.

“With A-kwadraat, we can grow without losing sight of our own sustainability or quality,” says Ive. “It’s just a natural match.”
