Our journey began in 1963 when the Van Berge Henegouwen family installed a car radio on a Feadship yacht. This initial venture led to the establishment of Van Berge Henegouwen Installaties (VBH) in 1985, focusing exclusively on the growing superyacht sector. Under the visionary leadership of Arthur van Berge Henegouwen, VBH evolved into a specialized audio-video firm, laying the groundwork for our current status as the leading system integrator for premium superyachts.
As demand grew, our original premises on Kaag Island became too small, prompting the opening of a custom-designed facility in Roelofarendsveen in 2000. The rapid pace of growth continued, leading to a restructuring and subsequent sale of the company in 2008. In 2015, VBH moved its headquarters to Amsterdam. Throughout these changes, our spirit of innovation, creativity, and love for technology has remained constant. Today, VBH operates independently, with its rich heritage still shaping the way we operate.
VBH is now a truly multidisciplinary business, offering clients AV, IT, control, communications, lighting, and security systems onboard yachts. Our philosophy is to fully support clients throughout the entire lifecycle of a vessel by providing a broad range of products and services, with access to a worldwide network of service centers. VBH offices in Germany, France, and the United States support this approach.
TrackrecordOur tagline, "Innovate. Integrate. Inspire." embodies what we have been doing for over 60 years: delivering unique experiences through the seamless integration of advanced technology. We believe the most sophisticated technology is that which operates invisibly, enhancing the luxury and comfort of superyacht living without intrusion. By continually innovating, we ensure that each system we integrate is not only state-of-the-art but also harmoniously blends into the yacht's environment, reflecting our clients' desires for both functionality and elegance.
For more than half a century we have been solely dedicated to integrating luxury technology onboard superyachts
The Van Berge family first came into contact with the yachting world in 1963 when it installed a car radio on board a Feadship.
