August 2010 – Shunter BRD-80 was specially designed for shunting operations on industrial parks and in rail yards. The vehicle is highly suitable for precise movements and is primarily deployed for shunting over short distances. De Boer Snijbedrijf's part in the construction of this locomotive was to cut various steel parts, thereby contributing a nice bit of high-precision engineering.

June 2010 – De Boer Snijbedrijf regularly cuts the rim segments for the steel casting ladles used in a large steel factory. The ladle pours the liquid steel in a long, flat strand, which is then rolled. Liquid steel is incredibly hot, so it's not surprising that the ladle rims get damaged and need replacing quite frequently.

March 2010 – The construction of De Boer Snijbedrijf's new cutting hall, with its steel skeleton galvanised by Verzinkerij Heerhugowaard, is proceeding apace. The building is now wind- and watertight and the floors are in place. The roof will be equipped with sound-proof roofing sheets and large strip roof lights, keeping out noise and letting in abundant natural light. The new extraction system means that there is much less dust in the hall. This all contributes to a pleasant working environment for the De Boer Snijbedrijf workforce.

December 2009 – De Boer Snijbedrijf's new cutting hall will be completed in mid-April 2010. It will be home to a new Koike plasma cutting machine. This unique machine stands out not only because of the large cutting range of 5,100 x 27,000 mm, but also because of the 400 Amp plasma source. It can cut steel and stainless steel up to 50 mm thick.

July 2009 – Crematoria have to meet the most stringent European environmental standards. The latest installations include the most energy-efficient burners and stand out due to their extremely low level of gas consumption. They also contain special filter systems for flue gases, mercury and dioxin. The furnaces are operated using a touch screen located at a safe distance.

June 2009 – The world's tallest demolition rig, at 90 metres tall, comes from Zwaag in North Holland. The crane has an operational weight of 220 tons; it has no difficulty in cutting through concrete sections 50 cm thick at a height of 86 metres, or steel girders a metre thick at a height of 76 metres.

March 2009 – De Boer Snijbedrijf doesn't often work on the construction of a 44-metre yacht. Even in a water-rich country like the Netherlands, building a yacht of this kind is still pretty special! The ship has an innovative retractable keel so that it can sail into a harbour without any problems. De Boer Snijbedrijf cut a range of parts to size. They were then welded together to form the bulb frame, which provides the yacht with balance.

January 2009 – In recent years, De Boer Snijbedrijf has seen the demand for certified work increase. That means that the cutting work also has to be checked and assessed by a surveyor from an accredited inspection organisation such as Lloyds Register. De Boer Snijbedrijf has been authorised to re-mark materials with a 3.1 (formerly 3.1b) and 3.2 cert (formerly 3.1c cert) inspection certificate in accordance with EN 10204. De Boer Snijbedrijf can stamp products for its clients, reducing routing times.
