QHSE

All manufacturing processes at Cramm’s factory, at its subcontractors’ premises and at client worksites are monitored continuously using a state-of-the-art quality control system, assuring a safe and healthy working environment, flawless performance and top value. The information obtained from this monitoring is used to train and guide our employees and our subcontractors’ employees.

By providing support at the start of, and during every production process prior to delivery and under operating conditions, the QHSE department proactively minimises risks at source and supports a cycle of continuous product improvement at the production facilities, during testing at Cramm’s factory and during installation at the client’s worksite.

Sustainability

Cramm Yachting Systems was established over 60 years ago as a family-owned business with the focus on future generations and long-term business relations. Care for people and sustainable yachting equipment is deeply rooted in our organisation. Working closely with our clients, with respect for one another and working together proactively on safety is a natural part of this.

Cramm plays an active role in caring for the planet now and in the future by safeguarding the environment. We strive to minimise the potential negative impact of our work in the yachting environment. Our smart engineers are continuously encouraged to develop more sustainable working methods and innovations and these are reflected in our effective production process.

OUR HISTORY

Founded 1954

Founded by Mr W.H.A. Cramm in 1954 when our clients were mainly active in the dredging, agriculture, concrete construction, road works and fishing sectors. After initially supplying parts for diesel engines, we soon expanded our role with repairs and maintenance when equipment became overly complex for all-round engineers within the companies concerned. It wasn’t long before Cramm received international recognition.

Located back then in the city centre of Leeuwarden, cramm was able to deliver his services and products quickly to people in need.

Hydraulic Equipment 1970

In the early 1970s, we started specialising in high-quality hydraulic systems for the yachting industry. These decades of experience are reflected in our innovative custom-made hydraulic products with a high level of operational security and superior performance.

Besides the specialization on the hydraulic systems for the yacht industry, Cramm relocated to a bigger building to make space for the larger products and neccessary equipment.

Relocation 1985

Relocation to larger premises in Leeuwarden. As Cramm has been growing since the beginning of the founding in 1954, Cramm has relocated several times to make sure to be able to deliver the products and services requested by our customers. In 1985 Cramm relocated to a much bigger premises which almost doubled the amount of available space.

Exclusive Yacht Equipment 2005

In November 2005 the company was taken over by new owners and changed course to become even more specialised into the hydraulic equipment section.

Subsidiary activities were ended and Cramm Yachting Systems now focuses exclusively on its core business supplying yacht equipment for yachts over 40 metres in length.

Even Bigger 2008

As the super yachts are getting bigger, Cramm also has to supply even bigger products and equipment. To fullfil those needs, Cramm moved out of leeuwarden to Berlikum – town close to leeuwarden – to have the possibility to develop even larger yacht equipment.

Besides a larger factory, a larger office is also included which makes it possible to have more engineers working on a wide amount of projects.

REDEFINED 2017

They say that variety is the spice of life and that also applies to our industry. Cramm works in various different markets and offers everything a client needs, from custom one-offs and now as well proven-in-practice off-the-shelf solutions.

In addition to our unrivalled expertise in custom-made hydraulic equipment for superyachts, Cramm Yachting Systems also offers a broad range of standard products (modular Equipment). While we have the advanced expertise required to create complex solutions, it is clear that a pre-made quality component can often be a perfectly suitable solution. Cramm has an answer to every need for getting people and equipment on and off board.

With this new line of standardized products comes a brand new marketing package to give more information on the Cramm possibilities.
