Our history
We are a family business and proud of it. Founded in 1938 by Ko de Waal and now managed by the third and fourth generations of the De Waal family. Craftsmanship, a desire to excel and a willingness to invest the money earned have made this company a household name in Dutch and European shipbuilding.
