our heritage

Formed by fishing

Made in Katwijk. A village on the Dutch coast. It’s where we design & manufacture our machines. It’s where our heritage lies. Our town has a rich fishing history, and family and friends are still active in the industry.

Growing up in Katwijk taught us to respect the ocean and its incredible wealth. But we’ve also experienced first-hand the fishing industry's challenges and understand the various factors involved. We’re proud to call fishermen our friends and passionate about helping you succeed.
