What Hollander Techniek does

Hollander Techniek is a privately held Dutch technical services provider and system integrator founded in 1974 and headquartered in Apeldoorn with two additional regional offices in Almere and Amersfoort. The company operates 19 in-house expertise areas spanning electrical and mechanical installations, building management systems, energy management, medium-voltage infrastructure, retail and security technology, cleanrooms, sustainable installations, robotics, industrial automation (PLC/DCS), smart industry, OT cybersecurity, and industrial digital twins, organized around three market segments: utility/utility buildings, retail, and industry (process industry, manufacturing, food, water treatment, waste processing). Its customers include named Dutch enterprises such as Unilever, Albert Heijn, Vitens, VDL ETG, Auping, GMB, Plukon, Het Koninklijk Concertgebouw, Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier, and Ennatuurlijk, served via dedicated account managers per vertical and field teams operating from the three offices.

The firm makes money through a mix of project-based engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) work and recurring service and maintenance contracts, described as 'lange termijnrelaties' (long-term relationships); pricing is negotiated per assignment with no public rate card, and examples of larger installations cited include multi-year and €12.5M+ projects. Distribution is direct-only (no resellers), combining account management, field service, and participation in public and private tenders. The company has invested in formal credentials - ISO 27001, SCIOS Scope 10, PSO Trede 3, Safety Culture Ladder Trede 3 - and in co-development partnerships with Siemens, B&R Industrial Automation (Value Provider status), and Remeha (a pilot 100% hydrogen boiler). Recent corporate moves include the 2024 acquisitions of Bennink Klimaattechniek and Vriend BV / Vriend Duurzaam BV, and the May 2026 opening of a new-build expansion at the Apeldoorn HQ; headcount has grown from approximately 550 in 2024 to about 650 today, consistent with sustained expansion in the Dutch market.
