In 1930, Mr Padmos Senior - father and grandfather of the current board of directors - started a workshop for the repair of engines and fishing winches serving the mussel fishery in Bruinisse, the Netherlands.
In time Padmos started the development and construction of fishing winches for the fishing industry. Gradually he also started carrying out repairs and renovations to existing vessels. Today this is still an important part of the activities.
Because the installation of winches and engines on board became an important activity, Padmos decided to expand the shipyard. In 1964, a new production facility was built in Bruinisse and four years later an expansion followed.
