Back in 1920: The Harbor's Lightbulb Shop

No results are found.

In 1920, Jan Cornelis van der Leun opened his shop at the harbor of Sliedrecht. Radios and electric lighting were still new and remarkable at the time. What began with providing light and sound soon grew into creating solutions for the shipping industry and the emerging dredging sector.

That hands-on, problem-solving mentality is still at the heart of our work today.

That’s why we continually invest in new technologies, sustainable energy solutions, and smart systems that contribute to the energy transition. This way, we help our clients work future-proof without compromising on reliability or safety.

Our story began in a small harbor town, but our focus has always been on the road ahead. We’ve been doing that since 1920, and we will continue to do so for the challenges of tomorrow.
