With his long-term, extensive experience of the mechanical engineering industry, he was able to build up a substantial customer database within just a few years. This growth led to service engineers being taken on at an early stage in the company&#8217;s existence, and extra support was also needed in the sales, planning and operations divisions. With the order book filling up, the workforce as a whole expanded, and Nick Zuidema, Ton&#8217;s son, stepped up to take a position on the board. By 1999, Total Systems was growing so fast it needed to move, and established new premises on the Nijverheidsweg in Middenmeer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7144306 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7144306\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4b03210\" data-id=\"4b03210\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d1bae2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d1bae2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The purchase of the current building, on the Industrieweg, and the surrounding land, purchased in 2003, marked the start of the construction of a new facility.
