Generational shift at SFT for Dutch market

When ShibataFenderTeam started back in 2007, Olaf Kessel was one of the founding partners and looked after the market in The Netherlands from day 1.
After 13 years during which he has greatly contributed to the success story of our company with his outstanding technical know-how, long term experience and strong ties in the industry, Olaf has now decided to reduce his professional activities.



In June 2020, he transferred part of his responsibilities, namely the Dutch market for fender products to our office in Eersel, headed by Niels van Houtum and his team.



Olaf will continue his UHWM-PE business in the Dutch market until a later date and he will remain available for SFT as a senior consultant for special projects and tasks.

We like to thank Olaf for his support and engagement over the past years and look very much forward to continue our partnership under a new set-up.
