Solving your maritime challenges
Why did your company choose Texas?
Texas is the traditional place to be for Dutch companies involved in the maritime- & offshore Industry, with Houston as the offshore capital. Today Vuyk recognizes the greater Houston area as the center for the energy transition, as mayor energy companies do have their center of excellences in this area. Beside the heritage of Maritime- and Offshore Industry, Texas does have a friendly investment climate and the Dutch go well along with the Texans!
What advice can you give Dutch entrepreneurs who want to do business in Texas?
Howdy y’all…!
In Texas it’s all about business and less about politics or distracting topics. Being an original Dutch company is almost a benefit as Houston carries over 100 nationalities and is really an international business city.
