Gusto Shipyard, previously A.F. Smulders, was a shipbuilding company in Schiedam, Netherlands. It was famous for dredging and offshore vessels. In 1978 it was closed down under suspicious circumstances. Its engineering office still exists as GustoMSC, a subsidiary of American oil rig and equipment manufacturer NOV Inc. In 1862 A.F. (Guust) Smulders (1838-1908) from Tilburg, founded a small machine factory in 's-Hertogenbosch. It soon expanded with an iron foundry (1863-1864) and a shipyard (1865). Guust also had a tow service and rented out machinery. In 1867 Guust's younger brother Charles (1842-1900) joined the company. By 1872 they had become so successful that they bought Utrechtsche IJzergieterij & Machinefabriek (Utrecht iron foundry and machine factory) for 60,000 guilders. The factory then became known as 'Utrechtsche IJzergieterij & Machinefabriek, Firma A.F. Smulders'. An important product in Utrecht was the production of machinery to produce margarine.
