Slo-Rid b.v.
Our history
Slo-Rid b.v. was founded in 1946 as a welding company based in the city centre of Amsterdam, and specialized in ship repair. In the 60’s Slo-Rid b.v. evolved into a machine plant which produced sprockets, spur gears and precision mechanical parts. During the mid-70’s the company started to expand its product portfolio by manufacturing hydraulic steering systems for yachts and inland vessels.
A new building was purchased in the 80’s and Slo-Rid b.v. invested in modernization by purchasing CNC-machines and using CAD-systems for more efficient production. Slo-Rid b.v. started to produce single plinth container blenders for the pharmaceutical and food industries just before of the arrival of the new millennium, and has been doing this up to present day. These machines have mayor advantages over existing blender solutions such as quickly being able to swap the product that needs to be blended without having to clean the machine itself.
Entering the 21st century the company moved into a much bigger plant in the north of Amsterdam to ensure enough space for the production of the blenders and other products such as sprockets and spur gears. In 2015 the construction of a new, even bigger plant, started at the Back-upstraat and this is where Slo-Rid b.v. has been located ever since it’s completion.
Slo-Rid b.v. was historically located next to the NDSM-Shipyard in Amsterdam.
