Technolution

What Technolution does

Technolution B.V. is a Dutch multidisciplinary technology company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Gouda, Netherlands, with approximately 450 employees and offices in Deventer, Arnhem, Hilversum, the Nordics, and the USA. The firm integrates three engineering disciplines — software, electronics, and programmable logic (FPGA) — under four branded divisions: Technolution Move (mobility and smart-city traffic management), Technolution Spark (energy management and grid balancing), Technolution Advance (high-tech, big science, and aerospace electronics), and Technolution Prime (high-assurance, cybersecurity, and defense systems). Its proprietary product portfolio includes the MobiMaestro traffic-management platform (with VINCE, DISPLAY, PAGE and Adaptive Flow Management modules) integrating with 450+ roadside devices, the FlowCube AI traffic sensor, the Rainlevelr participatory water-management platform, the CDPU radiation-hardened data-processing unit for small satellites, Vision AI ship-draft measurement at the Port of Amsterdam, and security gateways for the Dutch Ministry of Defence.

The company's go-to-market is B2B and sales-led, combining multidisciplinary engineering services with proprietary product development, in-house assembly at Gouda, and 24/7 lifecycle support. Customers are predominantly large enterprise and government buyers across mobility (Municipality of Rotterdam, Gate 21 in Denmark, MobiMaestro deployments in Stockholm), energy (Porta Nova greenhouse grid balancing via aFRR), defense and high-assurance (Dutch Ministry of Defence and Royal Netherlands Navy CyNOpS program with TNO), aerospace (NLR / NSO satellite CDPU), and water management (Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland). Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed; co-creation with clients is the primary commercial model, supported by SBIR programs with government research offices and long-term service contracts.

Technolution is a privately held, founder-led B.V. — co-founder Jan van der Wel remains CEO — with a full executive team (CCO Marcel Dukker, COO Joeri Klekamp, CTO Serge de Vos, CFO Angelique Floot) and no disclosed external institutional investors. It holds ISO 9001 (since 1998), ISO 14001, ISO 27001, CO2 Performance Ladder Level 5 (the first mid-sized technology firm at this tier), and Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct compliance. In February 2026 Technolution acquired AimValley, a 90-person telecom and networking specialist in Hilversum, opening a sixth vertical (Tier 1 telecom equipment) and signaling continued inorganic growth on top of a diversified organic base across mobility, energy, high-tech, defense, water management, and now telecommunications.
