Van Dam Group

What Van Dam Group does

Van Dam Group is a privately held Dutch multi-disciplinary installation company founded in 1935 as Loodgietersbedrijf G. van Dam and headquartered in Rijssen, Netherlands. The group operates through four entities — Installatiebedrijf G. van Dam (core mechanical, electrical and sanitary installations), Van Dam Technisch Beheer (technical management, inspections and maintenance), and the acquired De Leeuw Installaties (2000) and Schipper Installatie (2022) — delivering electrical engineering and automation, climate control, sanitary, fire and intrusion security, service and maintenance, and full facility management (Van Dam Facilitair) from offices in Rijssen, Rosmalen and Huizen.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time project installations for residential and commercial customers and recurring service contracts covering CV-boilers, heat pumps, ventilation, climate and security systems, supplemented by a 24/7 emergency breakdown service and facility-management outsourcing. The company holds the full Dutch installer certification stack required for tendering — InstallQ BRL 6000 (parts 1-8, 21 and 25), VCA**, Safety Culture Ladder Trede 3, F-gassen, Scios scope 1 & 7a, Borg-E, NVKL, plus product/service certificates for fire and evacuation alarm systems — and runs an in-house prefabrication workshop that pre-assembles mechanical modules and heat-pump skids before site delivery, supported by BIM-based design (Revit, AutoCAD, Vabi) and ERP (4PSConstruct / Business Central, Afas).

Customers split between individual homeowners served through service contracts and ad-hoc breakdowns, and B2B accounts including housing corporations, care homes, schools and commercial buildings. As of 2025 the company joined VDK Groep while preserving its family-business identity, sits at 251-500 employees, and serves the entire Netherlands directly through field-based technicians and service engineers.
