It was always a no-brainer that a Rotterdam-based scale-up like Skelex -- with their mechanical upper body exoskeletons -- would find a large number of use-cases in the shipbuilding industry.

Check out this insightful video put out by one of their clients, Heesen Yachts, an industry leader in the manufacture of super yachts.

Pieter van Beurden, their GM of Production echoes what we have always believed - exoskeletons are here to stay and will be standard equipment for shipbuilders in the near future!

Sustainable and fair use are central to Wakuli -- who find themselves with 200 extra bags of coffee that have exceeded their 14 day post-roasting storage period. Promising it's deliciousness and staying true to their no-waste ideals, they're looking for a good destination for these 200 bags of coffee.

Do you know the best home for these 200 bags of high-grade Wakuli coffee? Respond in the messages and help them out!

🇳🇱 EEN GOEDE BESTEMMING VOOR 200 ZAKKEN KOFFIE?☕

Oh noo! Bij Wakuli zijn we dol op koffie maar soms iets minder sterk in tellen... Onze koffie wordt altijd vers gebrand en valt binnen 14 dagen na branding bij je op de deurmat. Het komt niet vaak voor, maar nu hebben we koffie die iets langer geleden gebrand is. No worries, de koffie smaakt nog altijd heerlijk!
We geloven niet in verspilling en zijn daarom opzoek naar een goede bestemming voor 200 zakken koffie (filtermaling)! Ben of ken jij bijvoorbeeld iemand die deze koffie een goede bestemming kan geven? Pitch je idee hieronder in max 2 zinnen, en 3 emoticons en wie weet nemen we contact met je op!

🇬🇧 A GOOD DESTINATION FOR 200 BAGS OF COFFEE?☕

Oh noo! At Wakuli we love a strong cup of coffee but sometimes we are not that strong in counting… Our coffee is always freshly roasted and delivered to your doorstep within 14 days after the roasting. It does not happen often, but at the moment we have some coffee that has been roasted a little longer ago. No worries, the coffee still tastes delicious!
We do not believe in waste and are therefore looking for a good destination for these about 200 bags of koffie (filtergrind)! Are you or do you know someone who can give this coffee a good destination? Let us know your idea in max. 2 sentences beneath this post, and add three emoticons and who knows we will contact you!
