Making textile architecture come to life.

With a passion for innovation: Henk's expertise extends from air domes to tension covers and across borders from Bonaire to Germany. He leads his team and drives innovations, always striving for improvement.

Meet Henk Kolthof, Senior Mechanic at Polyned. His deep passion for textiles and his extensive experience at Polyned allow him to appreciate technical details, pursue energy-efficient solutions, and see his contributions come to life, always striving for improvement.

He supervises teams, handles maintenance, and has a strong affinity for preparatory tasks. The assembly and disassembly of air domes require flexibility, a quality Henk has perfected throughout his career.

For Henk, the essence of the job is in solving problems. His craftsmanship shines through when improvising in unexpected complications. No challenge is too overwhelming for this experienced technician, whatever the weather conditions may be.

“I thrive on continuous improvement, particularly with air domes, where there are always new challenges. For example, improving the dome's foundation or refining the door connections. These technical details are noticeable to us because we are effectively renewing the product.”
