After an incredible 44-year career at CSi, Cees is now retiring. He was always ready to help, with an incredible memory for past projects, and was able to recall exactly where and when something was applied. Cees became the go-to specialist for plastic chain conveyors and later for pallet transport. His dedication was unmatched, often working late into the evening until security kindly reminded him to go home.

He started when our mechanical engineers were still working with drawing boards. In the early 90s, the drawing boards were replaced by the 2D CAD drawing package ME10. Years later, when the switch was made to 3D Solidsworks, Cees was the very last to switch over. He was of the opinion he could work faster in ME10 but eventually found an even faster method in the new software.

Cees, thank you for your hard work, expertise, and all the knowledge you’ve shared. Enjoy your well-earned retirement!
