The Lips Propeller factory where Jos van Gorkum worked was founded in 1939, in Drunen, the Netherlands. In 1998 it was acquired by TI Group, continuing as John Crane Lips for four years, before being taken over by the Finnish corporation Wärtsilä. In 2010 Wärtsilä shut down the factory and moved production to China.
