In the Dutch city Roosendaal, Bresser moved a 44-meter-high chimney (450 tons) in one piece over a distance of 450 meters. Thanks to years of effort by former Philips employee Jongmans, the tower was spared from the demolition hammer. The buildings on the former Philips site have recently been demolished to make way for a distribution center. With the exception of the chimney. Commissioned by the municipality of Roosendaal, Bresser moved the entire structure upright to a new location on the side of the site. At this location, Philips’ industrial heritage remains a landmark for the city.
