Founder Robert Kleijweg has a bachelor degree in naval architecture and started his career in software developement and production of stability documentation for a variety of vessels.

A special interest for hull design, with respect to resistance, propulsion, and stability, for many different types of vessels, from sailing yachts, planing motor yachts up to container carriers, has made him an expert in the market.

Kleijweg Design was founded in 1997 in Haarlem. After a short period the company moved to Enkhuizen in 1998. In this period we were mainly active in the design of luxury yachts, design of building kits and building supervision.

From 2001 on Kleijweg Design has activities in the production of stainless steel hatches and pipelines for chemical tankers.

From 2005 on Kleijweg Design has her own yard facility for newbuilding, conversions and maintenance for yachts up to 15 metre.

Still Kleijweg Design is active in both pleasure craft and commercial vessels. Engineering tasks, feasability studies, naval architecture, damage stability calculations, building kits are some of our activities.
