New Year's Reception 2024
Embrace the Après Ski Feels!
What a great kickoff to the new year in Het Veer! The après-ski vibes were everywhere during our New Year's reception. From the cozy alpine cabin to the happy crowd to the amazing photobooth!
The icing on the cake was our Après Ski Master Quiz! It was great to see our Sailors diving into the competition with their knowledge of our company.
Thank you to the Positive Wave Crew and Deba Facility for organizing this reception.
Let's keep this positive energy and sail together on the waves of 2024
Happy Holidays!
Dive into the new year with a sea of possibilities! 🌊
Het Veer will be on vacation from Dec. 25 to Jan. 1. We look forward to reconnecting in 2024....
Happy holidays and let's make waves together in 2024!
Recap Top Seminar Unizo
This week we experienced an inspiring day at Unizo Top Seminar - '10 management books in 1 day' at the Casino Kursaal Ostend. Together with some of the companies in the group, we immersed ourselves in a sea of knowledge and insights.
The various speakers briefly but powerfully shared the essence of their books and gave us valuable insights. It was a great opportunity to learn, network and grow as professionals! At the end of the seminar, we were also given the ten books to take home, along with some gadgets and a brand new valise.
Thanks to Unizo for organizing this event and to all the guest speakers for the inspiring interactions. Let's turn the knowledge gained into action and strive together for continued growth and success!
Let's keep sailing on blue oceans!
Discover our diverse team
On European Languages Day, we paid special attention to our diverse team and take the opportunity to express our appreciation for the different cultures represented by our global team at Het Veer. Being proud of our different cultures inside and outside Europe, we made it our own "Day of Languages."
Not only today, but day in and day out, we are proud of our team. At Het Veer, we understand the challenges of everyday communication in languages that are not your native tongue, and we applaud the dedication of our Sailors who embrace it. They go the extra mile by speaking in foreign languages, translating documents and actively participating in language classes.
Allow us to introduce our enthusiastic team who will bring you why it is so much fun to work at the Het Veer group.

Acquisition of Van Os - Duracoat by the Het Veer group
The family-owned Het Veer group operates in five different sectors and has 14 companies. It is with pride that we count a fifteenth member today.
Van Os - Duracoat, also a family business with more than half a century on the clock, specializes in industrial metal coating. Their services include zinc phosphating, powder coating and plasticizing. When standard corrosion protection is no longer sufficient, a thermoplastic Abcite® coating is applied to a variety of materials for the water treatment, street furniture, electrical insulation, marine and offshore sectors. They also apply Rilsan®, Halar® and Teflon® coatings, each for specific applications such as abrasion, contact with aggressive chemicals or anti-adhesive properties.
Thanks to their expertise in exceptional corrosion-preventive coatings , we are further expanding our range of coatings : with Lakkerij Vandereyt and Van Os-Duracoat together, we now offer the entire range of organic coatings, from wet paint over powder coatings to thermoplastic and even fluorinated coatings.
The company currently has 20 employees, and Raf Van Os will continue to lead the company for several more years as he has for the past several years. Durable and quality craftsmanship remains the absolute top priority.
Learn more about their specialty and story at www.vanos-duracoat.com.
This acquisition expands the metal sector of our group, which includes Lakkerij Vandereyt, Robby and Femaco. We are already looking forward to a pleasant cooperation!
