What Corrosion does
CORROSION B.V. is a Dutch engineering company that designs, manufactures, and services Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) systems and UV-C anti-fouling solutions for metallic structures in marine environments. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Bleiswijk, Netherlands, the company originated in maritime corrosion protection before pivoting into offshore wind in 2004 and deploying the world's first ICCP system for a wind turbine foundation in 2007. Its product portfolio spans ICCP anodes for monopile foundations and vessel hulls, the ICCP-SAM remote subsea installation system (co-developed with Bluestream), the ICCP-POD construction-phase power solution (with Amphibious Energy), the UV-C Cooler anti-fouling system (using Philips UV-C IP), Propeller Shaft Grounding systems, and supporting SCADA-based remote monitoring. An in-house applied-science laboratory established in 2016 supports proprietary R&D, and ICCP Simulation-Based Monitoring is offered as a service line.
The company generates revenue through a mix of one-time system sales (ICCP anode systems, UV-C Cooler hardware), recurring maintenance and service contracts via its Maintenance Benefit Program (MBP), and applied science and consulting engagements. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed from Netherlands with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany, France, China, and Vietnam, supplemented by regional agents in the UK, South Korea, Poland, Malaysia, and Singapore. Customers are concentrated in three vertical segments: offshore wind operators (Greater Gabbard, Saint-Nazaire, Hollandse Kust Zuid), maritime vessel owners and shipyards (Boluda Offshore, Multraship, Oranjewerf), and onshore water utilities (Evides Waterbedrijf). The company reports 3,100+ ICCP systems in operation, protecting 2,500+ foundations and 5,000+ wind turbines worldwide, and claims global market leadership in ICCP for offshore wind foundations.
Ownership history shows Nordian, a Benelux-based private equity firm, as controlling shareholder from 2020 until January 2026, when Mentha Impact acquired a controlling stake alongside existing management. The company holds ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications, and operates four wholly-owned regional subsidiaries plus an agent network spanning Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

Products and services
- ICCP (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) Systems Sustainable electronic current-based cathodic protection systems for offshore wind turbine foundations, maritime vessels, and onshore structures. Replaces sacrificial anodes with electronic impressed current, releasing approximately 1 kg of anode material over 25 years vs. 1.5 million kg for traditional aluminum sacrificial anodes. Includes design, manufacturing, commissioning, and maintenance.
- UV-C Cooler Anti-fouling solution using ultraviolet C light to prevent marine growth on cooling systems, developed in partnership with Philips. Environmentally friendly chemical-free alternative to copper-ion systems, can be retrofitted or installed on new builds. Lamp replacement takes 20 minutes without dry-docking. Applicable to maritime vessels and onshore water installations.
- ICCP-SAM (Subsea Assembly Method) Remote installation system for ICCP anodes on monopile foundations, co-developed with Bluestream. Compact, can be transported and deployed with minimal resources from topside; operated remotely to maneuver anode underwater into foundation entry hole and secure it. Eliminates need for diving operations and large installation vessels, reducing O&M cost.
- ICCP-POD Sustainable alternative to diesel generators during wind turbine construction phase. Combines Amphibious Energy's EnergyPod technology with CORROSION's compact ICCP units to deliver cost savings while providing eco-friendly corrosion protection without sacrificial anodes during the construction window.
- New ICCP Anode Design for XX(X)L Foundations (slim-fit anode) Revolutionary 'slim fit' anode design for protecting increasingly larger monopile foundations. More powerful anode head can impress more current, enabling protection of the largest monopiles and reduction of coating requirements (potentially eliminating coating altogether). Can be installed directly on the foundation.
- Propeller Shaft Grounding (PSG) System System protecting vessel propeller shafts and gearbox bearings from spark erosion caused by potential differences from cathodic protection systems. Uses high silver composition brushes integrated with ICCP alarm features to provide early warning and protection of propulsion components.
- Sacrificial Anodes Traditional cathodic protection using sacrificial metal anodes (aluminum, zinc, magnesium-based) that dissolve to protect metallic structures. CORROSION provides sacrificial anodes as a complementary offering to its ICCP systems, particularly where impressed current is not suitable.
- ICAF / MGPS (Impressed Current Anti-Fouling / Marine Growth Prevention System) Impressed current anti-fouling and marine growth prevention systems for maritime vessels, using low-level electrical current to prevent marine organism attachment on hulls, sea chests, and other underwater structures.
- Simulation Based Monitoring Simulation-based monitoring service for maritime ICCP systems, enabling predictive assessment of corrosion protection performance and supporting condition-based maintenance decisions.
- Maintenance and Service Programs (Maintenance Benefit Program - MBP) Ongoing maintenance programs including spare parts supply, service engineers, on-shore control, and budget control programs. Available through Maintenance Benefit Program (MBP) for long-term client relationships and recurring revenue.
- Applied Science Laboratory Services Applied science laboratory services including corrosion and fouling consulting, technical engineering support for custom solutions, and R&D testing. Operated in-house since 2016 with a team of researchers and service engineers supporting both internal product development and external client testing.
- SCADA Remote Monitoring for ICCP Systems SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system for remote monitoring and control of offshore ICCP installations. Enables real-time monitoring, data processing, and issue communication from shore to mitigate downtime on offshore assets.
- UV-C Onshore Cooler Onshore adaptation of the UV-C Cooler anti-fouling technology for surface water installations, water utility reservoirs, and industrial cooling water systems. Chemical-free protection for water intakes and electronics.
