It has been said that the history of The Netherlands is mainly a history of water, whether it's the land reclamation which began in the 14th century, it's emergence as a maritime superpower during the 1700's, its evolution into a shipping hub for European trade and the continuing importance of the Dutch maritime cluster as a hotbed for research and technology boasting one of the most modern fleets in the world.Rotterdam in particular has established itself not merely as Europe's number one container port but also a 'brainport' for logistics, financial expertise and maritime innovation. Among those at the forefront of the Rotterdam cluster is synthetic flooring specialist Bolidt. Although active in other industries, such as public buildings, maritime is Bolidt's particular specialism, accounting for around 70% of its turnover. The main focus of those activities are in the cruise and superyacht sectors, although it is also involved in offshore and has even provided flooring for LNG carriers.
