After more than 150 years, IHC Lagersmit is leaving behind the shipyard in Kinderdijk. As of this week, the company will be serving its clients from a new high-tech production facility in Alblasserdam.
At the yard in Kinderdijk, IHC Lagersmit has been a long-time supplier of seals for rotating shafts. In the past ten years, the company has grown strongly: in sales and market share. “The rapidly changing market requires innovative solutions, short lead and delivery times, and guaranteed quality. So it was decided in 2008 to invest in new premises and a new production method”, explains Willem Steenge, the Managing Director of IHC Lagersmit.
