Frederikus Becker
In 1981, Holland Yacht Specialties (HYS) was founded by Dutch native Frederikus (Fred) Becker who migrated to San Diego, California more than thirty years ago. Mr. Becker was born and raised in Arnhem, Holland and attended college in the Netherlands. Whether it was his Dutch heritage, his enthusiasm for boats or his fondness for the boat building industry in general, Mr. Becker started his business by providing the North American mega yacht market with a variety of a European-manufactured products that included pool anchors, deck hardware and a variety of other boating accessories.
In 1997, as the mega yacht market changed, so did the products that HYS offered. It was at this time that HYS began manufacturing its own custom designed stainless steel deck hardware. Mr. Becker’s knowledge for hardware design and manufacturing is extensive. His attention to detail and his high standards for quality are seen in all of the stainless steel hardware offered by HYS. With this transition also came the opportunity to expand the the HYS customer base. Today, HYS custom stainless steel deck hardware can be seen on boats throughout the world.
Holland Yacht Specialties (HYS) incorporates a dedicated group of skilled professionals and craftsmen in the production process. From designers, to machinists, to welders all members of the HYS production team possess the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure that each and every piece of HYS high-quality stainless steel boat hardware conforms to the standards set for all HYS products.
Ever diligent in listening to customer wants and desires, Mr. Becker heads the design team in creating new products, modifying existing products or ensuring that current products continue to adhere to design specifications. Once a product is designed, samples are made, tested and altered if necessary to ensure product excellence.
Machinists involved in the production of HYS stainless steel hardware use the finest equipment available today within the industry. Using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology, the machinists are able to produce customized precision parts by utilizing computer-controlled lathes and milling equipment. Once hardware parts have been produced by the machinists they are then sent to skilled welders to join the parts together when required. When the products leave the welders they are then sent to the “buffing and polishing” department where they are readied for shipment but not before each and every product receives a quality inspection.
HYS prides itself on the innovative yet practical designs it creates in the field of custom stainless steel boat hardware. HYS has been in business for more than 30 years and it plans on being in business for many years to come. HYS thanks all of its many existing customers and warmly welcomes all new customers.
