Mammoet history

May 13, 1807
On May 13, 1807, Jan Goedkoop purchased a 140 ton sailing cargo ship, ‘Twee Gebroeders’ (Two Brothers). The first Industrial Revolution (Factory Age) was just a few decades old and the second one, the Transportation Age, was still to come. The Dutch monarchy wasn’t even in existence yet (1813).
Jan Goedkoop was one of many visionary entrepreneurs who would lead companies, out of which the current Mammoet emerged. He foresaw the ever greater need for transportation in a growing and industrializing society. In fact, with ‘Gebroeders Goedkoop’ he set the tone for a company that is always at the forefront of market developments, even defines them. In the decades that followed, a transportation company grew with numerous freight and passenger ships, and salvage services.
1966
In 1966 Van Seumeren Kraanbedrijf was founded, active in crane rental. Frans van Seumeren is the son of the founder and came to work with the company in 1973. The family Van Seumeren would be pivotal in the growth and professionalization of the global market for heavy lifting and transport. They would initiate numerous innovations in equipment and processes, always pushing the boundaries of what technology and imagination can realize.
1971
In 1971 Gebroeders Goedkoop merged with heavy transport & lifting company ‘Van Wezel’ to form ‘Mammoet Transport’. In 1973 Mammoet Transport became part of ‘Koninklijke Nederlandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij (KNSM) in Amsterdam, and changed its name to Mammoet. In 1973 Mammoet Shipping was founded. KNSM was sold to Nedlloyd in 1981.
2000
With the help of private equity firm NPM and a bank, Van Seumeren acquired Mammoet in 2000. Acknowledging the better resonance of the name ‘Mammoet’ in a global market, the merged company was called Mammoet. The lifting of the Russian submarine ‘Kursk’ in 2001, brought international fame for Mammoet and added to a tremendous growth of the company in the years to come, from several hundred million euros in 2001, to over a billion in 2011. In 2006, SHV Holdings acquired the majority of the shares in Mammoet from its subsidiary NPM and the bank. In 2011, SHV acquired the remainder of the shares.
In the last four decades, Mammoet has evolved into a world market leader in the field of engineered heavy lifting and transport. We have been able to do so thanks to a team of creative engineers, numerous innovations in equipment – be it in cranes, jack-up systems, gantries or trailers - and a professional workforce, renowned for its craftsmanship and adherence to the highest safety standards.
