Rope trio merge for rigging supergroup

Hendrik Veder, RopeQuip, and European Rope Services will merge on 1 September 2012, founding the Hendrik Veder Group.

Hendrik Veder, an ISO-9001 certified organisation enjoys a solid reputation in the area of heavy offshore lifting and specialises in cable-laid slings and grommets. RopeQuip is a recognised wholesaler of wire ropes in industrial, offshore, maritime, automotive, and agricultural applications.

The third merging partner, European Rope Services, has a strong position and reputation in the distribution, confectioning and testing of steel wire ropes and lifting and towing materials for offshore as well as onshore customers.

After the merger, the Hendrik Veder Group will be a leading, independent player in the European market, with an annual turnover of €60 million, nine subsidiaries in seven European countries, and over one hundred employees who, together, process around a thousand tons of steel wire rope.

End users with specific rigging needs will continue to be served under the trade name of Hendrik Veder while other trade activities are to be carried out under the name of RopeQuip. The full product range will be available through both channels.
