News / YP Your Partner exists 30 years!

,,Thirty years, quite an achievement to think about. Reaching thirty years is something you do together. You have made that possible, thank you for that!” With these words Theun Prins, current director and son of founder Yde Prins thanked his staff. He did so on Monday, May 1, during the staff celebration of this milestone. 

In 1987, Yde Prins started his one-man company, Y. Prins Engineering. Back then, no one could have guessed that thirty years later, YP Your Partner would be a major player in monitoring and operating globally distributed machines and plants. ,,We cannot let this anniversary pass us by,” said Theun Prins. , ”That's why we will celebrate it with our relations in September." 

Some employees have been involved in the family business for more than 20 years. According to Wieger Prins, not a blood relative but one of the employees who puts his heart and soul into the company, the company's core values play an important role in this. ,,We always anticipate the future, we have fantastic and socially relevant projects and we go for royal. Hence the name ‘Prince’ “, he explains with a wink.
