The 1st generation
Royal Dutch Kusters Engineering was founded in 1911 by Handerie Kusters, marking the beginning of a successful family business. Throughout its more than hundred-year existence, entrepreneurship and innovation have remained central to the company's ethos.
The 2nd generation
When Harrie Kusters assumed control of the business on January 1, 1950, he brought a dynamic and forward-thinking approach. Like his father, Harrie was a skilled craftsman, but he also embraced the role of entrepreneur, constantly seeking new products and markets.
The 3rd generation
By the time the third generation took over in 1979, the company had evolved into a structured organization focused on further development. Innovation remained a priority, reflecting the family's deep-rooted entrepreneurial spirit.
The 4th generation
Today, entrepreneurship remains integral to our family's identity. We've encountered successes and setbacks alike, and now the fourth generation faces the challenge of building upon our legacy, learning from the past, and pursuing new dreams with determination and ambition.
