Siers Groep

What Siers Groep does

Siers Groep is a privately held, family-owned Dutch infrastructure services company headquartered in Oldenzaal, Netherlands, founded in 1964 by Herman Siers. The company delivers end-to-end underground infrastructure services — colloquially termed its 'Totaalontzorger' (Total Care Provider) model — across seven disciplines: Elektra, Water, Telecom, Infraconsult, Bliksem + Aarding (lightning and grounding), Koude + Warmte (district heating and cooling), and Engineering. Its engineering toolkit rests on standard industry software (AutoCAD, ArcGIS, Civil 3D) rather than proprietary platforms; its operational differentiation is the Buurtaanpak (neighborhood approach) methodology, which coordinates multiple underground infrastructure upgrades simultaneously to minimize repeat streetworks.

The company serves Dutch grid operators (netbeheerders) — Alliander, Stedin, and Liander — as anchor customers on multi-year grid-reinforcement programs, alongside water utilities (e.g., Evides), municipalities, telecom operators, and industrial clients served via the PrivatiS subsidiary. PrivatiS manages approximately 100 medium-voltage installations nationwide for industrial customers, solar parks, energy storage, and EV fast-charging infrastructure. Siers maintains eight regional offices across the Netherlands and one German subsidiary (Siers GmbH, Emsbüren).

Revenue is generated through project-based and contract-based B2B pricing negotiated directly with utilities, water boards, and government entities, primarily through competitive tenders or direct award. With 501–1,000 employees, the company is family-controlled with no external parent, no funding rounds, and no publicly disclosed revenue. Recent strategic activity includes the 2025 Deventer office/warehouse consolidation and the appointment of former Dutch Minister Bruno Bruins to the Supervisory Board.

Product overview

Siers Groep is a family-owned Dutch infrastructure services company founded in 1964, operating as a single unified service provider rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The company delivers essential underground infrastructure services across seven core disciplines: Elektra (electricity), Water, Telecom, Infraconsult, Bliksem + Aarding (lightning and grounding), Koude + Warmte (district heating/cooling), and Engineering. The Totaalontzorger (Total Care Provider) service integrates these disciplines end-to-end from advisory and design through execution, maintenance, and management. PrivatiS operates as a subsidiary sub-brand focused on the privatized medium and high voltage segment, managing approximately 100 installations nationwide and offering services for large-scale energy storage and fast charging facilities.
