The HISWA Holland Yachting Group will celebrate its golden jubilee in 2019. Over the past 50 years, members of the association and the wider industry they serve have seen the enormous value of close cooperation and a truly professional approach. With the Dutch superyacht sector now having a global market share of close to 30 percent, the group will continue to lead the way in showcasing premium Dutch quality.
The influential association known today as the HISWA Holland Yachting Group started out as the HISWA Export Group almost 50 years ago. It was formed to create a distinctive branch of the HISWA Holland Marine Industry association in the Netherlands, which has an even longer history dating back to 1932. Today, the group gives top Dutch yacht builders and maritime suppliers a distinctive voice around the world and partners with key players in industries related to the superyacht lifestyle. Meanwhile, the smaller yacht builders and their suppliers have combined their export activities under the auspices of the HISWA Orange Yachting Group.
“At the heart of the success of the Dutch superyacht sector and HISWA Holland Yachting Group has been the way leading yards and supply companies invest time, money and energy into the collective future of their industry,” says Export Director Jeroen Sirag. “Many of our members have been at the top of their profession for decades.
