Dear relation,
We are proud to announce that HS Steel B.V. has taken a majority stake in Norram B.V. and its subsidiaries Marron Jachtbouw B.V. www.marronjachtbouw.nl and EcoDeck B.V. www.marron-ecodeck.com.
The founders of Norram B.V., Mr. Ron and Mr. Marco Schumacher, will remain operationally active within the company and focus on their specific areas of expertise. Ron and Marco are also involved in the company as owners through a minority stake.
HS Steel B.V. invests in Dutch companies with a focus on the manufacturing industry. See also the website www.hssteel.nl
HS Steel is already active in the mega yacht building industry through the recent acquisition of stainless steel specialist Werkvreugde Contracting B.V. with its subsidiaries Werkvreugde Echten ( Friesland ) and Werkvreugde Oss ( Noord Brabant ). www.werkvreugde.nl
It is our wish to support the companies where possible in the further development which should lead to a professional service orientated group to support the mega yacht industry, whereby the subsidiaries will keep their own identity.
We foresee a growing need in this industry, significantly larger and more complex combined assignments for both newbuilding and refit projects.
In order to be able to offer the service and products of the various subsidiaries in a joint quotation and execute orders under one flag, we will soon establish a “project office”.
In the coming months we will make the necessary adjustments and preparations to make this extra service available to you. Further information will follow shortly.
Due to the increasing shortage in the teak market we have also decided to significantly scale up the capacity for synthetic wood solutions under the flag of EcoDeck B.V. www.marron-ecodeck.com
EcoDeck has developed a high-quality product in recent years as an excellent alternative for traditional wood finishing. Further news about this will follow soon.
