Editing Schroeter Romeo (section)

== History ==
In 1945, immediately after the end of the [[Second World War]], [[Lourens Schroeter (father)]] began assembling simple road vehicles together with his five-year-old son. These early transport vehicles were primarily intended for relatives and close family associates. Demand within the family network increased rapidly, and over the following years the informal workshop expanded significantly.

By 1950, after assembling hundreds of vehicles, the enterprise was formally expanded and officially registered under the name ''Schroeter Romeo'' at the Kamer van Koophandel. During its early growth phase, the company incorporated several small component manufacturers operated by related Schroeter branches. Over time, these smaller firms were merged into the expanding Schroeter Romeo structure, forming a consolidated automotive manufacturer.

Unlike the earlier agricultural focus of [[Schroeter Traktoren]], Schroeter Romeo specialized primarily in passenger vehicles and light commercial transport. The company became known for the use of high-quality interior materials, supplied by industrial partners such as [[Marmerfabriek Overschie BV]].

Following the dissolution of [[Schroeter Traktoren]] in 1959 after the second [[Middenvader Commissie]], Schroeter Romeo remained operational and became the primary industrial outlet of the Schroeter family in Vriendendam.
