Reconditioning

Many engine spare have found a second life after being overhauled at our workshop. With the expertise that we built up over the years and passed on for four generations, the engineers from Van West-Holland bv are specialized in a wide variety of custom repairs. Our in-house quality system is based on ISO 9002. Which means that every product that enters and/ or leaves our workshop has a detailed report of procedures applied. All new and reconditioned spare parts pass a well-documented final visual and geometric inspection before they are approved for supply to our customers. Tight production control and step-by-step monitoring of reconditioning processes ensure that we deliver a product that can again withstand the harsh environment of operation on board.

Working towards a circular economy

Circularity and recycling have been in the DNA of our company since it started in 1923. At Van West-Holland bv we can help you achieve your company’s sustainability goals. By reconditioning your engine (spare) parts instead of producing new ones you can make a big difference in reducing your business’s footprint. By using parts from our big stock with slightly used, reconditioned and unused new parts your company can contribute to a circular economy.

Van West – Holland B.V.

Our history

Long before he set up his own company, the founder of Van West Holland, W van West, had been a skilled professional. As Chief Mechanical Engineer and Inspector of Technical Services with the Koninklijke Hollandsche (ROYAL DUTCH) Lloyds shipping company in Amsterdam he gained a wide experience in everything to do with shipping. Lloyds used to equip its vessels with refrigeration equipment supplied by the English firm J&E Hall Ltd. When the ships docked in the port of Amsterdam, often after a very long voyage, various parts would either need repair or replacement.
