Bedrijfsomschrijving

Our client has a history that stretches back to 1883. Initially established as a small blacksmith and steel processing business, it has since evolved into a prominent player in the steel construction industry. Over time, the company has built a strong reputation for designing, manufacturing, delivering, and assembling large, technically demanding steel structures. It handles complex projects across three main sectors: Offshore Wind, Offshore Oil and Gas, and Civil and Industrial Construction.

The industrial site in Arendonk spans around 8 hectares and includes a production hall of 50,000 m². The facility is optimized for efficient internal logistics, making it well-suited for handling large, heavy components, with lifting capabilities of up to 105 tons. The blasting booth is equipped for both manual and robotic blasting. Additionally, the company operates several automated blasting machines and a spray hall measuring 7,200 m².

A key strength of the company is its large in-house engineering department, where skilled engineers manage the design and calculation of components in line with strict quality standards. The team includes highly qualified structural engineers and draftsmen, who collaborate across multiple sites. With extensive experience and knowledge, they ensure a high level of efficiency by incorporating practical execution and considering logistical constraints from the early stages of each project.
