The ‘green hype’ has produced a number of responsible products in the past
couple of years. But long before that, in the late 1900s there was the revolving door: green whether it liked
it or not. The Dutch ‘mini-multinational’ Royal Boon Edam was a pioneer in 1903 and is now the world market leader.
Chairman Niels Huber (39) comments on corporate responsibility as a marketing trick and taking a look at the entire
supply chain.
With only 13 weeks from tender to site, Boon Edam Ltd was asked to lend an expert hand in
the transformation of London’s Millennium Dome into a sports and music venue.
As one of the most recognized landmarks, with 100m high yellow support towers, Boon Edam Ltd were tasked in
providing a crowd controlling solution for the central arena.
Adjacent to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, and a prominent gateway to St Katherine’s Dock,
Tower Bridge House was designed as an energy efficient, speculative office building by Richard Rogers Partnership.
Dealing with 2 Architects and 3 Contractors in this multi-tenanted financial centre, Boon Edam Ltd set the
specifications for both Crystal Tourniket revolving doors and Pedestrian Security Lanes.
