Hendrik Veder Group
Ropes
Company Profile and Heritage
Hendrik Veder Group is an established international supplier of rope solutions and lifting equipment, primarily serving the offshore and maritime sectors. Headquartered in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, the company maintains active operations across The Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom. With roots tracing back to 1800, and a fibre rope factory operating since 1545, Hendrik Veder Group combines centuries of technical knowledge and traditional skills. The company has expanded through strategic integrations, including G. van der Lee Rope Factory and a Norwegian joint venture, culminating in a recent merger with Dutch Steel Fabricators in March 2023, aiming to create a leading player in lifting and rigging solutions.
Sustainable Solutions and Offerings
The company's core ambition is to enhance sustainability within the offshore and maritime industries through innovation, ensuring that sustainability and cost savings are mutually beneficial. Hendrik Veder Group offers a comprehensive 'one-stop-shop' solution for all rigging and lifting requirements. Their product range includes single laid wire rope slings, various fibre ropes (including Dyneema & HMPE), steel wire ropes, synthetic slings like Lift-Tex's Extreema® round slings—noted for being up to eight times stronger than steel and 80% lighter—and a wide array of lifting & rigging gear, as well as mooring and towing equipment.
Innovative Process Approach and Asset Management
A distinctive aspect of Hendrik Veder Group's service is its innovative process approach to asset management. Unlike traditional models, the company focuses on the sustainable reuse and efficient management of cables and hoisting equipment. This includes a robust inventory management program providing real-time online insight into equipment quantity, location, condition, and certification. Services encompass inspection, testing (including Magnetic Rope Testing up to 160 mm diameter and load testing up to 5,500 tonnes), maintenance, reconditioning, overhaul, and a dedicated recycling program for end-of-life equipment. They also offer fully equipped 'rigging lofts' for rental, supported by an online platform for oversight. This approach helps clients reduce costs and minimise their carbon footprint.
Commitment to Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment
Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE) are central to Hendrik Veder Group's operations. The company adheres to stringent safety standards, including 10 Life Saving Groundrules and an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy. They ensure competent, qualified, and motivated employees through training programs and promote a safety and quality mindset at all organizational levels. Their compliance statement underlines a commitment to ethical business practices and adherence to national and international laws and regulations.
