September 2011 – Once the sailing season has finished, boats are taken out of the water and put into winter storage. Many marinas use boat cradles. The boats are placed on the cradles and then taken to the storage location on a trailer, keeping them high and dry, and making maintenance and repairs easier. To prevent corrosion, Verzinkerij Kampen hot-dip galvanises the cradles.

August 2011 – This spring saw the presentation of a unique steel lorry/trailer combination: a trailer for extra-long, very heavy goods vehicles. These trailers are unique due to the low chassis base combined with tail-lift, special retractable gooseneck bars and leading rear axles; they meet high requirements in terms of quality and were hot-dip galvanized by Verzinkerij Kampen.

April 2011 – Reining is a western-style competition requiring riders to guide their horses through a precise pattern of circles, spins and stops at high speed. The horse is judged on its ability to perform the patterns. Arenas have to be in top condition for this event, which is why they are treated with a Slider: a tool that loosens the ground to keep it perfect. The Slider is hot-dip galvanized by Verzinkerij Kampen and various components are then powder coated by Poedercoating Hoogeveen.
