In 1992 the founder and owner Teus Vlot decided to start his own company. His most valuable assets were extensive knowledge of diesel engineering and many years of experience in this area. He set the company up on his own and simply chose his own name as the company’s name. The name hasn’t changed since then, but Teus Vlot Diesel & Marine has now grown to include a variety of specialist companies that together offer a broad range of services and products to customers from sectors including inland shipping, dredging and coastal navigation.
History

From diesel engines to full service
Diesel engineering formed the original basis of Teus Vlot and diesel engines are still one of our key product areas. They are the indispensable sources of power in the equipment that our customers use. Over the years, however, everything around diesel engines has become part of our activities, from all the pipework and the electrical installations to extensive alterations and finishing vessel hulls. Teus Vlot has therefore developed into a full-service company. We even supply entire completely new vessels. Our customers’ needs have always been the decisive factor in this process. In fact, we have always responded to their requirements and wishes.
Development of the organisation
Teus Vlot Diesel & Marine BV emerged from the diesel activities that started in 1992. Shipbuilding and machining have also been transferred to this company. In 2004 Teus Vlot Global Trading BV was incorporated. This company currently carries out extensive alterations and finishing work as well as building entire new vessels. The electrical engineering work on the vessels was given a huge boost in 2003 by the takeover of an existing company, which continued trading under the name Teus Vlot Scheeps Elektro BV. The most recent additions to the group are Teus Vlot Dredging BV and Cornerpoint BV. Teus Vlot Dredging was incorporated in 2008 to provide customers from the world of dredging with an even better service by concentrating knowledge and experience. In the same year Cornerpoint became part of the group. Cornerpoint is involved in the national and international trade in products such as engines, generator sets and parts for engines of well-known makes.
