Damen Group

Damen was established in 1927 in the town of Hardinxveld-Giessendam in the Netherlands by Jan and Marinus Damen. The two brothers ran a successful, mainly Dutch-oriented, shipyard for decades. Over the years they managed to build up a small, but loyal customer-base. Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld, located about 10 km from Damen’s HQ in Gorinchem, still exists today and is specialised in designing and building workboats, especially Multi Cats ad Shoalbusters. Even though it is a major international group, doing business in 120 countries, it is still a family-owned company.
