During the spring meeting of the VSB, Kees de Bont joined the board of the Concrete Formwork Companies Section of the VSB. Kees replaces the retiring René van Zutven and will become the first point of contact within the board for the subjects of technology and the Directive on Concrete Formwork and Support Structures.
The section board thus consists of chairman Jan Remmits (Safe/Safe Montage), Peter Kraaijeveld (Hendriks Groep), Jan Thomassen (NOE-Bekistingtechniek) and Kees de Bont (Hünnebeck). The General Board of the VSB continues to consist of Frank Klessens (Section Hoogwerkbedrijven, chairman), Jan Remmits (Section Betonbekistingbedrijven, treasurer) and Gijs Buijs (Section Steigerbedrijven).
With members and contributors, the Association of Scaffolding, Highwork and Concrete Formwork Companies VSB now has about 85 companies. The members alone represent an estimated annual turnover of 800 million euros. The broadly oriented constituency of the VSB pursues one common goal: to provide a safe workplace at height.
Divided into three sections of erectors, manufacturers, suppliers and rental companies, the complete range of work equipment and products is represented. From steel scaffolding, mobile scaffolds, ladders, stairs, lifting scaffolds, construction elevators, aerial work platforms and suspended platform systems to concrete formwork, support structures and facade maintenance systems.
