U-Boat Worx secures new investors and CEO

Bart van Nunen has joined the submersible specialists following investments generated from new company shareholders…

U-Boat Worx has appointed Bart van Nunen as its new CEO, alongside the addition of new shareholders, as the company seeks to further expand its technological capabilities and market presence. Founder Bert Houtman will remain involved as a shareholder and ambassador, helping to guide the company’s future development.

“We are beginning a journey of remarkable innovation,” says van Nunen. “With the support of our new shareholders, we are well-positioned to continue delivering safe and unparalleled underwater experiences. We look forward to building on our strong relationships with our customers and partners, and to further solidifying our place as a pioneer in the field of underwater exploration.”

The move comes as U-Boat Worx continues to experience robust demand for its submersibles, reflected in its strong order book. This surge in orders highlights the growing trust, confidence and interest in the submersible segment.

Van Nunen brings a wealth of experience from the technology and manufacturing sectors, with U-Boat Worx highlighting that his sailing background complements his technical expertise, despite his non-yachting industry origins. His leadership is expected to focus on advancing the company’s engineering capabilities and expanding its global footprint.

The company also plans to strengthen and expand its Field Operations (FOP) team, aiming to provide enhanced service, support and training to its clients.
