Quite confusing history and heritage but I’ll try to give an overview on what happened:

  1. Van Der Ploeg formed PACTON (see Robert1952’s translation of the abbrevation)

  2. Pacton and Van Weelde formed Pacton-Van Weelde in Nieuwerkerk a/d IJssel

  3. Van Weelde and Pacton separated and continued on their own

  4. Paul and Van Weelde formed Paul & Van Weelde in Nieuwerkerk a/d IJssel

  5. Paul and Van Weelde separated, Paul continued in Zevenhuizen

  6. Van Weelde continued in Nieuwerkerk a/d IJssel and later renamed Contar

  7. Pacton was taken over by Nooteboom

To my humble knowledge only Pacton nowadays exists
