New IHC Merwede branch opens in Dordrecht

Company News – June 23, 2008

IHC Parts & Services, an IHC Merwede unit, has opened a new branch in Dordrecht in The Netherlands.

“As a result of the rapid growth of IHC Parts & Services, the production halls in Kinderdijk were over-full and expansion was necessary,” said the company.

The new location in Dordrecht will concentrate exclusively on the production and delivery of stop valves, which regulate the flow of dredged material on board a dredger.

The valves vary from 1.5m to 6m in height and can weigh as much as 10,000kg or more.

The new branch consists of two linked halls measuring 290m² and 400m² and a large outside area where the office units are also located.
