A factory near the river
In the beginning…
The Weka founders mr. De Kwant & mr. Westbroek started with a strong vision for the marine industry. Offering reliable on-demand services to all marine companies that cruised the IJssel in the Netherlands. The factory was located near the river so vessels could be services quickly and effectively.
The two men had a strong belief that technological enhancements and new perspectives could push the marine industry forward. In 1980 the first WEKA box cooler was installed onboard. This encompassed the start of a new era of delivering smart cooling solutions.
