SSE – Van Der Horst’s tradition and expertise have continued to enable its Marine Division to remain a major provider of reconditioning services to the maritime industry.
These expertise have also been extended to power generation in land based power plants where diesel engines are being used to generate electricity.
SSE – Van Der Horst by deploying the state-of-the-art hard chrome plating processes and surface finishing technologies has established a reputation for its outstanding capability in reconditioning cylinder liners, crankshafts and piston crowns.
Advancements in computer science found applications designing and managing plants, simplifying calculations and drawings that previously had to be done manually. The completion of the Human Genome Project is also seen as a major development.
