November 2011 – Bikes with front racks fitted out with a basket or crate for shopping are a hot trend. These bikes are much wider than standard bikes and so they don't fit in the standard bike stands. Bokero is a new adjustable bike suspension system that can accommodate all bikes. It is hot-dip galvanised by Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard so Bokero is an enduring solution for bike parking problems.

October 2011 – Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard has made major investments in its fleet of vehicles. The maximum load capacity of the basic rigs has been increased and the new trailer truck can manage longer lengths. The new trucks also have cranes so that the drivers can unload their cargoes themselves, even at the building site. This means that the trucks can be deployed more flexibly and more efficiently for the transportation of galvanised and powder coated materials on the Duplex Route.

September 2011 – To carry as many passengers or as much freight as possible, airlines use large aircrafts for intercontinental flights. One of the most widely used passenger planes is the Boeing 747-400, and the Boeing 747-8 will also go into service from early 2012 onwards. Manoeuvrable maintenance platforms that can move up and down are used for maintenance work on the engines and wings of these jumbo jets. These maintenance platforms were hot-dip galvanised by Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard.

August 2011 – With its motto, 'We are with you from drawing board to building site', Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard puts project management into practice. Logistics has a large part to play in this respect, certainly when the job in question requires a customized solution. The whole logistical chain could be shattered without the right preparation and timing. The steel framework for a production hall and cowshed at a farm on the island of Ameland were hot-dip galvanized by Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard and delivered on time.

July 2011 – This spring, Ooghduyne holiday village brought 25 beach huts to the sea front at Julianadorp aan Zee. These beach huts, which were put together in April and will be dismantled in October, have steel foundations with a terrace and steps to the main part of the hut, which is made out of wooden pre-fab sections. The steel part of the structure was hot-dip galvanized by Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard so that the beach huts are protected against the elements.

May 2011 – The Bike Apple, a bike shelter in the form of an apple, is the eye-catcher at the railway station in Alphen aan den Rijn. This unique steel construction is nominated for the BTTV Trophy 2011 in the Infra & Mobility category. This trophy will be presented during the Day of Hot-dip galvanising. The Bike Apple has different floors which are reached via straight and spiral steel staircases for which Staco has supplied the hot-dip galvanised perfo treads and pressed gratings. The bike racks are hot-dip galvanised by Verzinkerij Kampen and the handles of the bike racks are powder coated by Poedercoating Hoogeveen.

April 2011 – Lots of shipyards do not only build new boats, they sell used vessels as well. A new covered sales harbour where the boats for sale are moored has been built at a marina in Sneek.

March 2011 – To enhance teamwork and communications, both inside and outside the company, Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard has moved its Operations Office. During the Christmas shutdown, a new office unit was set up at the location of the old weighbridge.

February 2011 – The building in Heerhugowaard housing a chocolate factory and a specialist printer has been completely overhauled. The outer wall has been fitted out a new awning that gives the premises a modern look. It was treated using the Duplex road, and so Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard hot-dip galvanised it first, before it was powder coated by Poedercoating Heerhugowaard.
