 This change in production led to a new factory being built in 1993.Van der Lee’s product range, which is made using modern scutchers and braiding machines, now largely varies to include all kinds of ropes, yet the old craft still lives on at the G. van der Lee Rope Factory; hawsers for fisheries, water sport and replicas of VOC ships and the ropes are still twisted on the 350-metre long ropewalk.The G. Van der Lee Rope Factory became part of the Hendrik Veder Group in 2013.
