What and who is Castart?

Castart was founded by Aart van den Dool. Because I was born in Sliedrecht I grew up with Dredging.

Castart represents more than 20 years of sales experience in the metal industry. Combined with technical, metallurgical and foundry knowledge, and off-course insight and experience makes it clear that Castart can offer you a high quality of service in your purchasing or developing route.

My first commercial experience was with a steel trading company in beams and merchant bars for a period of 7 years. After that, I sold stainless steel pipe, tubes and fittings for Van Leeuwen Stainless which is part of the Van Leeuwen Pipe Group in Zwijndrecht for another 7 years.

My last job was, again, for a period of 7 years for a large Foundry. This foundry from was specialized in ship propellers and wear resistant castings for the dredging industry. I was the international sales manager and due to that I have visited and provided my services to nearly all dredging companies on the world. No need to say that it fits as casted to be an agent for several foundries.

I’m straight forward and direct, but above all honest and reliable. I like to build up and maintain long term relationships, because these are the basis for turnover and repeat orders. I put customers first and offering the customer a solution for his problem is already the first half of the order.
