Solidd Steel Structures, Takke Breukelen and Delft Infra Composites (DIC) are joining forces to respond efficiently, flexibly and decisively to the changing infrastructure world of tomorrow. The three brands, each with their specific expertise, will continue together in the umbrella group TO GET THERE.
Bridge to the future
By combining heavy steel structures (Solidd) with lighter structures and composite solutions (Takke and DIC), the three brands in the group offer significant added value for clients. All three brands are on the rise, have strong order books and see plenty of opportunities to build a bridge to the future together. Not only in the area of infrastructure, but also with regard to the offshore renewable industry.
Jan Willem Stob, managing director of TO GET THERE: ‘Together we are ready for the future. By complementing each other in knowledge and expertise, we can handle the large infrastructure task ahead of us regarding new construction, renovation, service and maintenance. The cooperation gives us broader geographical coverage, makes us a more robust organization that is equipped for major tasks, and enables us to offer innovative total solutions in existing markets. For example, we see promising opportunities in creating hybrid solutions – combinations of robust steel and lightweight (composite) structures – in the offshore renewable industry.’
TO GET THERE
Solidd, Takke and DIC continue in TO GET THERE as 100% sister companies. The individual brand names will be retained. The brands will continue their activities in their existing companies within the group, with Jan Willem Stob as group managing director and co-shareholder. From Takke and DIC, Andries Takke joins TO GET THERE as co-shareholder. Geert Takke is proud of this development, and he has chosen to retire himself.
Future ready
Andries Takke is also convinced of the added value resulting from cooperation in the new group. ‘In the context of the replacement task it’s a clear story: with the now eighth generation of Takke Breukelen, the composite-technical knowledge from DIC and the steel construction expertise of Solidd, one plus one is simply five. We complement each other optimally and form a driven group of professionals, each with a winner's mentality. Together we are future ready – we approach the future with confidence.’
