Between 1970 and 1994 the yard exported cumulatively in excess of half a billion guilders worth of yachts. Most of the later vessels were designed by Tony Castro and built from steel or aluminium.

In 2016 the shipyard in Wieringerwerf was sold. In 2016 the company is active.
On January 19, 2017 they announced they found a new investor, following the failed takeover of the yard by Acico. Together with the Vripack design studio they are working on a motor yacht project.
