“Baggerbedrijf De Boer and Bagger- en Aannemingsmaatschappij Van der Kamp are both family businesses, owned by the second and fifth generation. Stewardship is in our DNA in all areas and sustainability is not a hip term or meaningless concept, but is expressed in long-term solutions and relationships, ”says Kees van de Graaf, director of Baggerbedrijf de Boer. "That is why we are happy that we can continue to use our knowledge and experience here."

Depot manager Harry Blokland “The great thing is that depot management takes place at the intersection of ecology, soil and water. In recent years, for example, we have implemented nature-inclusive management in a versatile way and demonstrated that industry and ecology can go hand-in-hand with the right knowledge and skills", "We have even welcomed beavers as inmates".
