It is not surprising that Herman van Soest, together with his sons Richard and David, born in the Zaanstreek, started in 1983 with the development of machines, intended for the finishing of wooden products by means of lye, stain, oil or (UV) lacquer. Woodworking is the "people from the Zaanstreek" deep in the blood. More than 300 years ago, long before the invention of the steam engine and electricity, the Zaanstreek had about 2,000 windmills, which made it the first industrial area in Europe. Many of these mills were used to saw wooden planks out of tree trunks.
