What Concrefy does

Concrefy B.V. is an independent laboratory testing and technical consultancy firm specializing in concrete and structural materials, headquartered in Venlo, Netherlands. Founded in 1978 (originally as Betontechnisch Adviesbureau Stapels) and rebranded to Concrefy in 2018, the company is a subsidiary of Umdasch Group Ventures (via Doka) since 2016. Its core offering comprises ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory testing (RvA accreditation L216) across approximately 60 test methods covering concrete, reinforcing steel and mechanical splices, aggregates and recycled granulates, supplemented by technical consultancy including forensic engineering, damage inspection, on-site guidance, and Quickscan quality assessments. Proprietary technical differentiators include DIANA FEA 3D thermal stress simulation for mass concrete crack prevention and High-Frequency Pulsators (HFP) that reduce fatigue testing cycles from one week to 8 hours.

The company serves a B2B enterprise client base across concrete product manufacturers, precast plants, reinforcing steel producers, engineering consultancies, infrastructure contractors, and asset owners — with project references spanning India (Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail), Panama, Turkey, Australia, and Europe. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements billed on a custom project basis, supported by multi-year maintenance contracts and a customer web portal (myConcrefy). Distribution is direct, anchored by the Venlo laboratory plus mobile-laboratory on-site capabilities with real-time wireless data link.

Effective February 1, 2026, Concrefy's digital solutions portfolio (Concremote, Factory Production Control, RFID Tags, Hygrometers, Asset Management 3.0) was transferred to sister company Doka Nederland B.V., with Concrefy now focused exclusively on laboratory testing and consultancy. Leadership was refreshed in July 2025 with Hennie Roebroeks appointed Managing Director (concurrent with his Doka Nederland MD role), alongside Monica van Stratum as Head of Finance, Compliance & HR, and Johann Peneder on the Management Board. Industry influence is exercised through Peter Megens' chairmanship of the Association of Reinforcing Steel Netherlands (VWN) and Concrefy's membership in the German precast association FDB.

Broad incumbents

• Intertek: Global TIC company with construction materials and metals testing services. Competes with Concrefy in lab-based materials testing and certification, but serves a far broader set of end markets.
• SGS: World's largest testing, inspection and certification company with a broad construction materials lab footprint. Overlaps with Concrefy in concrete, steel, and aggregates testing, but operates as a broad incumbent across many industries.
• TÜV Rheinland: Global TIC group with construction materials, structural testing, and certification offerings. Overlaps with Concrefy on accredited testing for manufacturers, though at a much larger scale and broader industry scope.
• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC major with significant construction and infrastructure testing operations. Competes with Concrefy on materials testing and certification but addresses a much wider portfolio of industries and geographies.
• TÜV SÜD: Large German-origin testing and certification group active in construction products and materials testing. Comparable on accredited testing and CE marking services, though it operates across many sectors beyond concrete.

Direct peers

• Kiwa: Dutch-based testing, inspection and certification (TIC) company with deep overlap in construction materials, CE marking, and KOMO certification. Direct comparable on accreditation-driven testing services; also a documented partner of Concrefy.
• SOCOTEC: European leader in construction materials testing and infrastructure inspection, with accredited labs serving the same manufacturers, contractors, and asset owners that Concrefy serves. Highly comparable in service mix (concrete, steel, aggregates, forensic).
• Element Materials Technology: Global materials testing provider with strong construction materials and metals testing capabilities, including mechanical and fatigue testing. Comparable in offering specialized accredited testing for manufacturers and infrastructure clients.

Others

• MPA (Materialprüfanstalt) / BAM: German federal materials research and testing institute (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung) and affiliated Materialprüfanstalten. Not a direct competitor but highly comparable in materials testing methodology, standards development, and forensic investigation of concrete and steel.

Emerging players

• ALS Limited: International testing services provider with growing construction materials and asset integrity testing capabilities. A more limited overlap with Concrefy than the global TIC majors, but competes in select geographies and service lines.
