June 2009 – The centre of Zaandam is in clear need of a facelift. The area is messy; there is little sense of unity. The public space needs an overhaul. Gedempte Gracht and the immediate surroundings have failed to keep up with what shoppers want. A lot of locals go shopping in cities nearby. The ‘Inverdan’ project includes measures to upgrade the entire centre of the city. A completely new car park will be built to improve access for cars.

For this project, De Boer Staal supplied 2,000 tons of steel plating and Holland profiles, Grade A ship quality.

January 2009 – Even before their sons were born, Tom de Boer and Ruud Mouthaan were active in the steel trade. Together, they built up the sheet trade at De Boer Staal. And now, in 2008, there is a unique situation: both Arnaud de Boer and René Mouthaan have followed in their fathers' footsteps and both of them work at De Boer Staal. Of course, both fathers are now hoping that their sons will be just as successful and that they both have a great future ahead of them!
