Linda Wes is the third generation of the family enterprise, Bons & Evers Group which was founded by her grandfather and 3 co-founders from another family in the Netherlands in 1949.

For 3 generations, the company has been a player in the non-ferrous metals industry.

The company has a rich history and legacy with extensive experience and expertise in hot forging and the machining of aluminium, brass, and copper alloys.
