CATME is an essential learning and networking event for anyone working in the region’s crane and specialized transport sector.

Van Gelder became Mammoet CEO in October 2017. In recent years the company has consolidated its position as the world’s largest crane and transport company with its acquisition of fellow global specialist ALE.

Following a career in the Dutch Navy, van Gelder returned to the civilian world in 2004. After a couple of years in the aviation industry he joined BP in the Netherlands as a maintenance manager. Soon after he was made project director and, at the end of 2007, he became managing director.

In 2010 van Gelder changed jobs to be CEO of the national grid company in the Netherlands. After three years he left to troubleshoot a company in distress. A couple of years later he was approached by SHV, Mammoet’s parent company, where he joined the board of sister company Eriks. In 2017 SHV asked him to join Mammoet.
