Founded in 1955, Kruitbosch has over 60 years of experience in bicycles. The company started as a bycicle wholesaler and has grown significantly, now also developing its own bicycles including the Cortina models. 

Erik Hartsuiker, product engineer at Kruitbosch, uses SOLIDWORKS to develop frames, front forks, carriers and more. Erik experienced challenges with (engineering) data management, previously storing data in network drives. Kruitbosch selected 3DEXPERIENCE to solve their data challenges. 3DEXPERIENCE allows them to move away from a folder-based structure towards indexing their files via information attached directly to 3D Models. 6WTags allows them to easily filter and search.

Everyone within the company, and even external parties, can access the same data and versions which avoid miscommunication.
