ALE has signed a deal with steel constructor VDS Staalbouw (VDS) in Flushing, The Netherlands, to store equipment at their yard. This gives us a local footprint in the Zeeland area of The Netherlands and makes it easier to work with the local companies.
The yard facility is being used as a storage site for a range of equipment, including SPMTs, powerpacks, steel mats, transport beams and offshore equipment.
By expanding their storage facility, ALE will be able to provide quicker mobilisation of equipment, which will additionally reduce costs, and ensure an immediate response to the clients.
“Since the start of this year we have been executing operations within this area, handling a lot heavy steel structures and cargo, and we wanted to expand our storage resources to better service our clients,” explains Richard Verhoeff, Sales Manager for ALE.
“This structured partnership shows our expansion and growing commercial offering in the Zeeland region of the Netherlands, whilst further strengthening the relationship and cooperation with VDS.”
