About us
Shipyard since 1919
In the year 1919, the brothers D. and A. van der Laan started the construction of the shipyard, then it was just a plot of land that was dotted with all kinds of flowers. Over the years, the shipyard expanded more and more. Where the focus was initially on the construction of rowing boats, it eventually shifted to the manufacture of barges, tugboats and inland vessels. Finally, in 1936, the second warehouse was built and more than fifty people were employed. During the war, work declined and after liberation the brothers focused on the winter storage of yachts and repair work. In 1956 the eldest brother withdrew and Mr. A. van der Laan continued the company with his son.
