The setting-up of MacArtney Benelux twenty years ago represented a developing commitment by the MacArtney Group to fully support the challenging Dutch and Belgian markets.
MacArtney Benelux is part of the global MacArtney Underwater Technology Group specialising in the design, manufacture, sale and after-sales service of systems to offshore oil and gas, renewable energy industries, ocean science institutes, survey and subsea contractors, civil engineering customers and navies.
Possessing vast engineering competences, the company manufactures state-of-the-art products, fully integrated systems and innovative custom solutions, from design to installation. All designed and tested to perform in challenging underwater environments, and supported by training, after-sales service and local workshops.
MacArtney Benelux BV was founded on September 1st 1998 and headed by Ron Voerman, who still sustains his position as Managing Director. The company started up in a modest office at the home address of Ron Voerman with no other staff.
Today, MacArtney Benelux has grown larger. Ron Voerman runs an efficient operation with 26 employees in modern administration and technical facilities conveniently located in Rotterdam-Hoogvliet. MacArtney Benelux houses an experienced sales staff as well as trained technical and administrative staff.
