Father and sons: Tim and Thijs Last

At ASaP, we’re proud to highlight another father-and-son team working side by side: Tim Last and Thijs Last.

Their story goes back to 2000, when ASaP was founded at the Van Der Graaf Laboratorium at Shell Research Amsterdam. Tim became our first customer, purchasing a dewpoint analyzer to monitor molsieve gas dryers for LNG and natural gas plants. A shared passion for technology quickly turned into a long-term collaboration.

In 2008, Thijs joined ASaP to upgrade the website and support procurement.

In 2025, they’re both still here—Tim as R&D engineer, still hands-on with analyzer innovations, and Thijs leading automation, GUI development, and yes, still the website.

In the Netherlands we say: “De appel valt niet ver van de boom” as we see Tim and Thijs working today—both driven by curiosity and a love for smart solutions.
