Family Business Day – DROMEC

How does a family business grow into an international player in winch systems? At DROMEC, you’ll find the answer in core values such as innovation, commitment, and collaboration. Cees Drost, CEO of DROMEC, explains:

Sustainable Solutions

“Since 1996, we have been building sustainable solutions from our family roots. Where DROMEC started with drive technology in my father’s shed in Ermelo, our company has now grown into a market leader in special winches and winch systems. With a team of over 40 colleagues, we serve customers worldwide in the maritime, offshore, and industrial sectors. The family spirit has always remained – and that makes us proud!”

Pull-in System

“A great example of one of our innovations is our pull-in system. This compact, electrically powered system assists in the installation of power cables in offshore wind turbines – safe, efficient, and sustainable. With automatic pre-tensioning, high force in a lightweight frame, and smart software, we provide our customers with real time savings and reliability. Recently, we delivered this ‘green’ series of 8 pull-in systems to DEME Group.”

Sparring Partners

“As DROMEC, we need sparring partners who think along with us strategically. Our accountant, Van Lienden & Kooistra, is indispensable in this regard. They help us critically look ahead and develop a long-term vision. Over the past 10 years, we have grown into the market leader in the field of special winches and winch systems, and it is valuable to have someone who can advise us on financial policy.”

Family Business

“DROMEC is a close-knit team with an open outlook toward customers, partners, and employees. With our innovative systems and driven work mentality, we want to prepare our family business for the future!”
