The new building complex consists of a hall measuring 140 by 21.50 metres, which, in combination with the existing production facility, enables work to be carried out on two large formats in parallel. The new building also contains offices and workshops located between the two halls. Feadship CEO Henk de Vries on the reasons for the expansion: "On the one hand, the order situation required this investment, and on the other hand, we are a family business and want to secure the future for coming generations."
