Heinen & Hopman Engineering was founded in 1965 in the Netherlands as a family business by Melis Heinen and Cees Hopman.
The company now has offices and workshops in 15 countries.
For its first eight years, Heinen & Hopman specialised in the design, engineering and installation of air conditioning, cooling, ventilation and central heating systems in buildings. As the company grew and gained recognition for its onshore activities, in 1972 the company started receiving inquiries from the commercial shipping industry too. Having the know-how and adaptability required for these projects, Heinen & Hopman took on more and more work within this sector.
