Core offering

DDM is a privately held, internationally active industrial services company that performs complex demolition, dismantling, and relocation of industrial installations (factories, power plants, bridges, petrochemical facilities, gas turbines, production lines) and certified asbestos removal across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, UAE, and Malaysia. It also sells, trades, and reuses industrial installations and recycles scrap and debris as part of a circular-economy offering.

Product overview

DDM is a demolition, dismantling, relocation, and asbestos removal services company. It operates as a single unified service offering rather than a software platform or modular product architecture. The company's core services are organized around four expertises: demolition (complex demolition works across sectors), dismantling (disassembly of technical installations, equipment, production lines, gas turbines, and complete factories), relocation (moving of large objects, heavy machines, and complete factories), and asbestos removal (projects in the Netherlands and various European countries). DDM is also active in selling, trading, and reusing industrial installations and recycling materials.
