In 1803 a young man named Nicolaas Jurjan Lankhorst, married into a family that owned a small factory manufacturing ropes and netting and started “Lankhorst Touwfabrieken”, already in 1964 Captain Gramaxo founded his company, which later became Grupo Euronete Ltd.

In 1998 the two companies joined and merged into the Lankhorst Euronete group BV which later in 2003, on the occasion of the group’s bicentennial anniversary, Her Majesty the Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands granted the company by Royal Warrant the predicate “Royal”.

Recently, and after the acquisition and incorporation of several enterprises, the group has a leader position in the international markets of ropes, netting, industrial and technical yarns, recycled plastic and products and sailing and nautical accessories. The different activities within the market created the necessity of the organization of the group in six distinct divisions:

Maritime & Offshore Rope Division – Production of specialized ropes for the maritime industry and offshore mooring.

Yarn Division – Production and development of technical and industrial yarns for agriculture and horticulture, artificial grass, fences, geo-textiles and others.
