The company was founded in 1972 by C. Kranendonk and his brother J. Kranendonk. Until the early 1990s, the primary activity was designing, delivering, and installing insulation systems for refrigerated cargo ships and fishing vessels. As economies in emerging markets like China, Indonesia, and India grew, shipbuilding activity in the Netherlands declined, leading to fewer insulation projects for ships.
Since 1993, ship outfitting and interiors have become Kranendonk’s core activities. The company began with refurbishments on new-build ferries constructed at Van der Giessen-de Noord shipyard. Subsequently, Kranendonk attracted more clients and became the trusted subcontractor for Wilton Feijenoord shipyard in Schiedam.
From 2010 onwards, Kranendonk expanded its services to include work on yachts, evolving into a full-service provider for crew interiors on new-build yachts and yacht support vessels. The company has also become highly active in refit projects, renovating existing crew interiors both domestically and internationally.
Today, Kranendonk has grown into a thriving company with approximately fifty skilled and passionate employees who take great pride in their craft.
