Paul Wester Transfers Ownership to Rob Boer and Hans Slieker
After years of passionate dedication, Paul Wester is stepping down as the owner of our company. Following a successful and intensive three-year transition process, the transfer of ownership to Hans Slieker and Rob Boer is now complete. Over the past year, Paul has gradually taken a step back, and from now on, he will remain involved in an advisory role.
Pride and Gratitude
Paul reflects on his time as owner with gratitude:
“I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together. With our network and the beautiful projects we’ve realized, I look back with great joy. I want to thank everyone for their trust and the wonderful collaboration. Now it’s time for a new chapter.”
A Future Full of Confidence
Rob Boer and Hans Slieker are taking on ownership with great enthusiasm. Rob brings extensive experience in ship and waterway construction, while Hans contributes his expertise in shipbuilding. Paul sees the transition as a win-win:
"The existing services will remain, with opportunities for further growth."
Rob and Hans are determined to build on the strong foundation Paul has laid:
"Paul has established a solid base. We are grateful to him and look forward to continuing to serve our clients with passion and craftsmanship."
