Delmote, representing the Moba brand since 1992
The owner of the company, Mr. Edwin Delmote, comes from a family that always had a great interest in the egg industry. It all started with his grandfather, who built egg grading machines. In 1988, he decided to start his own business and a few years later Delmote became the agent of Moba, the well-known leading manufacturer of grading, packing and processing equipment in the egg industry, by representing the Moba brand in Belgium and Luxembourg.
Passion for egg grading
Edwin’s interest in the egg industry started when he was very young. « My grandfather and his sons built small egg-grading machines in the fifties. They had their own brand ‘Delmote egg graders’. They built a lot of these machines, which had a capacity ranging between 1,200 eggs/hour and 12,000 eggs/hour. »
It was inevitable that Edwin would follow in his grandfather’s footsteps. He was so passionate about egg grading that he started his own business. He focused on selling second-hand egg graders and egg-packing machines and providing technical assistance. In 1992, Moba’s then Area Sales Manager, Mr. Ab Spijkman, asked him to work exclusively for Moba. « That has been one of the best decisions of my life », said Edwin. « I was already fascinated by the individual egg handling of Moba’s machines and, with my technical background, I could see that the performance was better and the quality higher of Moba’s machines than its competitors’. Since the start of our cooperation, we have a really good understanding with the Moba company. We can always count on Moba’s HelpDesk and the Spare Parts Department. And more importantly, so can our customers. »
Team spirit
« It is an honor to represent the Moba brand which is so well-known in the market », Mr. Edwin explains. « With the help of Moba, we can offer our customers end-to-end total solutions and innovative technologies that ensure the highest quality eggs and meet all the food-safety standards. The Moba Service team is available 24/7 and they also offer remote support for quick fixes to minimize machine downtime. Delmote is a company on its own, but my team thinks and acts on behalf of Moba and, over the years, I have learned that being part of a team gives the best results for our customers, Moba and my own company. »
Delmote’s purpose is to deliver excellent service to our customers in Belgium, northern France and Luxembourg. To do so, we need to work on our presence. That is why we now have our own website and social media channels. I am aware that, although our equipment is the best on the market, we still need to ensure we are providing excellent service and technical assistance. That is our mission now and in the future and we are committed, with the help and support of Moba, to guide our customers every step of the process and help them achieve great successes. »
