Remembering Peter Leijsten

We are deeply saddened to share that our colleague Peter Leijsten passed away unexpectedly over the Easter weekend. He was 60 years old.

Peter joined Montair on May 13, 1985, at the age of 19, as a sheet metal worker and fabricator. Over the years, he grew into a highly experienced colleague with extensive knowledge of welding and fabrication.

He could almost always be found in our workshop, where he worked with great dedication on a wide range of projects. In recent years, he also played an important role in guiding younger colleagues. With his experience and down-to-earth perspective, he was a trusted source of knowledge for many. Just last year, we marked his 40-year work anniversary, something he himself did not feel was necessary.

Peter was a calm and committed colleague who preferred to stay out of the spotlight. Anyone who asked him something could always count on an honest and sincere answer.

We are grateful for everything Peter meant to Montair and his colleagues. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones. We wish them strength during this difficult time.
