The order to weld a PVC foil cover for a water tower marked the beginning of a great number of orders from around the country. In 1960 plans to expand were executed. This organization grew into a reputable company that bought and sold products at home and abroad. De Lange Sr. decided to establish a trading company to import and export. In the course of time this company became successful.
