History

Visser & Smit Hanab's roots run deep into the last century. In the past hundred or more years, the company has grown to become the specialist in above-ground and underground pipelines and cable infrastructure.

  

Visser & Smit

Visser & Smit first saw the light of day in early 1900. At the time, the company was involved primarily in installing distribution pipes and operating waterworks companies.

By the late 1920s, it became NV Visser & Smit Aanneming Maatschappij and included activities in building public utilities, pile work, concrete work and pipework.

Visser & Smit Hanab

Hanab (Handels en Aannemingsbedrijf) was founded in 1945. In the early 1970s both companies were in different hands. Visser & Smit was taken over by Baggermaatschappij Adriaan Volker and Hanab by the Stevin Group. Following the merger in 1978 between Volker and Stevin, Visser & Smit was split into Visser & Smit Bouw and Visser & Smit Leidingen. The latter entity merged back into Hanab a few years later, creating Visser & Smit Hanab bv in 1979. The company set up offices in Papendrecht.

After the merger in 1979, several other companies were taken over by Visser & Smit Hanab:

  • 1989: Van Eijk Bedrijven in Gouda and Technisch Bedrijf Gulikers in Beek
  • 2000: Aquavia in Landegem (Belgium)
  • 2001: Welstaal in Heemskerk
