About Nautics Europe
With years of industry experience, Jan van Buuren and Mark Thoms founded Nautics Europe BV in 2004. Initially, we operated under the licensed brand name Gaastra Nautics, specializing in nautical accessories. By 2008, we became fully independent.
In addition to our own brand, we offer design, engineering, OEM production, and project management services. Our goal is to support companies in expanding or creating new business opportunities by helping them develop and sell exceptional products.
Our customers
Nautics Europe BV is based in Schiedam, The Netherlands. Our studio is located in the modern part of this historic city, conveniently close to both the city centre of Rotterdam and the North Sea beaches. These locations provide essential inspiration for our design work and products.
We collaborate with a wide range of companies, from multinationals to small startups, all of whom share a common goal: to grow their business by introducing new products or enhancing existing ones. Our extensive expertise enables us to bring fresh ideas to projects while ensuring the confidentiality of our clients.
