COMPANY HISTORY

Since mid 2007, Simbon and BO4 have intensified the cooperation due to our many linkages in innovation expertise. BO4 has grown since 2002 into a renown specialist in innovation alliances, such as the World Class Maintenance Consortium WCMC, and the hydrogen fuel cell alliance WaterstofRegio.
