Van DAF en Volvo tot VDL Nedcar

In this richly illustrated book, author Bert Tip, who has previously written books on the history of Philips in the Netherlands, takes the reader on a journey through the fascinating and eventful history of the car factory in Born, Limburg (NL). This is the story of proud car manufacturers who fought a heroic battle for six decades to survive in the unpredictable car market.

Based on interviews with those directly involved – employees, board members, politicians and trade union leaders – a realistic picture is painted of a high-tech manufacturing company with a product that captured everyone's imagination. A car factory that became a national treasure. Dutch glory in Limburg.
