Our client started as a family-owned business in the Netherlands and has grown into a global organization with over 12,000 employees. Despite its international reach, the warm, informal culture of its early days is still very much alive. Here, people work together with pride, dedication, and a strong sense of craftsmanship to create products that literally travel the world.
For decades, the company has been designing and building world-class ships—from commercial vessels to complex naval ships for European defense partners. Every project drives innovation, safety, and stability at sea. It’s a mission with real societal impact, especially today, where technology, defense, and sustainability intersect.
