WHAT WE DO

Our Team:
The founders of Grainz are Thijs de Jong and Hesther Pots who come from different backgrounds, but share the same passion for craftsmanship whilst working with natural and sustainable materials.

In 2018 they have launched their network company called The Dutch Touch Up Team. They are a strategic mix of dynamic and traditional professionals who are dedicated to their work. With their multidisciplinary team and global approach, Grainz is the network organisation that you can call when there is a need for highly professional touch up work on your yacht. And we don’t care about size!

She is skilled in marble and wood imitation and does astonishing gilding restoration work.  She also applies these skills in new to build Super Yachts.
