On Saturday 14 October 2023 at 11 a.m., A.P. van den Berg opened its doors to the general public. During the day, approximately 1,000 people visited the new business premises. Employees in each department answered questions and enthusiastically told about A.P. van den Berg's CPT equipment. "What an impressive company. Both the production and development of CPT equipment as the new business premises are very interesting," according to an enthusiastic visitor.

Official opening new business premises

Prior to the open house, A.P. van den Berg's new business premises was officially opened. This was done by Friso Douwstra (Deputy of the Province), Hedwich Rinkes (Municipality of Heerenveen) and Arie van den Berg (shareholder).
