Inspired craftsmanship
Our slogan is: ‘Innovation through craftsmanship’. At Bekina, craftsmanship, drive for innovation and sustainability are in our DNA.
We believe you only achieve the best end results through inspired craftsmanship. The driving force behind our family business is always striving to be better. We innovate and perfect, generation after generation. For every decision, we weigh up whether we're making the right long-term choice too. Together with all our employees, customers and suppliers, we therefore consciously strive for sustainable solutions.
The “work hard, play hard” mentality is part of our company culture too. That's why we regularly organise fun opportunities for employees to get together. From family days, after-work drinks and the New Year’s Reception to sports and games evenings.

That way we create the best designs, products and solutions for our customers. We never settle for less.

Engagement is a core value that guides all our operations.
Engagement is the force that unites our employees, inspires our customers and shapes the communities with which we engage. For Bekina, engagement goes beyond merely involving employees and customers; it’s about creating a sense of involvement and accountability in everyone who interacts with us.
KLEURRIJK - Colourful
We are passionate about colour in the broadest sense of the word.
We are passionate about colour in the broadest sense of the word.
Colour can be found in just about every one of our products and in the wildflower meadows that brighten our surroundings. Our teams also harness colour through the application of the Insights Discovery Profile. This methodology uses a colour model to provide insight into people’s personal preferences. For us, colour also denotes (neuro)diversity. Everyone is welcome at Bekina: young, old, and of any background or gender. And preferably with a diverse set of skills and insights.
INNOVATIEF - Innovative
Our product leadership is rooted in a relentless drive for innovation.

With every decision, we set our sights firmly on a future in which our impact is climate neutral by 2040.
Like our culture? Join our team!
Innovation is one of our most important Bekina Values. As a company, we innovate in many ways, not only in terms of production but also in terms of achieving even better working conditions for our employees.
David, our HR Manager, explains:
Over recent years, Bekina has implemented a lot of innovations in the field of machines, working methods and processes as well as the way we relate to each other. It's part of how we continuously strive for the most efficient use of people and resources.
We recognise the importance of innovation from an HR perspective too. Moreover, it directly contributes to the greater well-being of our employees. Thanks to new technologies and different ways of working, our employees are able to improve and expand their skills and capacities, which in turn ensures more variety in their work and ultimately better job satisfaction too. In short, it results in better working conditions.
Our own HR Department also works continuously to introduce automation and innovation to the processes intended to serve both employees and supervisors. Always with the same goal of creating an environment in which employees feel valued and are able to perform to the best of their ability.
