Timeline

  • 1969 / Beginnings

    In 1969, ambitious technical professions teacher Aart van Halteren founded Van Halteren Metaal in Bunschoten, The Netherlands. With specialized metal products for local industries, he succeeded in expanding his customer base with new clients from various regions across the Netherlands. His small workshop was quickly filled, and Aart asked his brother Joep van Halteren to join his growing business.

  • 1972: Expansion

    In 1972, son-in-law Izaak Veerman followed to expand commercially. In the seventies, Van Halteren won a substantial contract to produce road wheels for military tracked vehicles. With this contract, the road wheels division was born. In the eighties, Van Halteren Technologies was in need of larger production facilities and moved to industrial estate De Kronkels in Bunschoten.

  • The 1980s and Early 1990s: Expansion and Growth

    The 1980s and early 1990s were marked by significant expansion for Van Halteren Technologies. During this period, several companies, both domestic and international, were added to the group.

  • The nineties: Howitzer Crew Trainers

    In the nineties, the first orders for Howitzer Crew Trainers were placed. Ever since, Van Halteren Technologies has been designing, improving and producing defence simulation systems for international customers.

  • 2004: Contracts for land based (sub) systems

    In 2004, the land systems activities started when Van Halteren was awarded several contracts for the production of important land based (sub)systems such as the Pzh2000 and the CV90.  Maintenance, repair and overhaul services followed from this program and Van Halteren Technologies developed excellent partnerships with the Dutch MoD and several Original Equipment Manufacturers. Over the years, various expansions were made to the facilities in Bunschoten to ensure production capabilities for the increased demand.

  • 2015: Acquisition of NOVEK Technical Solutions

    The product portfolio continued to grow, especially after the acquisition of NOVEK Technical Solutions (formerly Stork Special Products) in 2015. With the new facility in Zwolle, Van Halteren Technologies took over a large spare parts department and a well-equipped facility specialized in the maintenance,  repair and overhaul of engines and transmissions of heavy vehicles. Moreover, Van Halteren Technologies expanded its portfolio with products and services for the naval market, such as HVAC systems and NBC/CBRN filters.

  • 2022: Acquisition of Bosch Rexroth Large Projects

    Always on the look-out for new technologies and opportunities to better serve client’s needs, Van Halteren Technologies acquired Bosch Rexroth Large Projects (formerly known as Hydraudyne) in 2022. The latest acquisition adds motion technology to the simulation department, brings in the finest drive and control technology and completes the naval portfolio with Replenishment At Sea (RAS) and Helicopter Transfer Systems.

At Van Halteren Technologies, we are proud to showcase a selection of our successful projects across various industries.
