What VBI does
VBI is a Netherlands-based producer and seller of prefabricated concrete floor systems (prefab betonvloersystemen), founded in 1981 and headquartered in Huissen. The company manufactures and delivers a comprehensive portfolio of floor solutions including kanaalplaatvloeren (hollow-core slabs), Combinatievloeren, PS-isolatievloeren, PS-renovatievloeren, Integraalvloeren, and a sustainable sub-brand called GroenPlus. Production runs across six wholly-owned operating subsidiaries and production sites in Huissen, Kampen, Eastermar (Schuilenburg), Weurt, Drachten (Leenstra), and a new factory in Koudekerk aan den Rijn that began official production in June 2026; VBI Weurt also produces in-house EPS insulation, providing vertical integration over a key raw material.
VBI serves the Dutch construction value chain directly — contractors, structural engineers, architects, and project developers — via project-based enterprise sales supported by technical advisors, BIM-integrated design (BIMMEN met VBI), and the proprietary VBI VloerSpecificator self-service specification tool for PS-isolatievloer and PS-renovatievloer projects. The PS-renovatievloer is additionally distributed through a dealer network. Pricing is quote-based, project-specific, and handled via email and direct advisor contact, with no publicly disclosed rate cards.
The company monetizes its offering through hardware sales of engineered floor systems (delivered to site), and competes primarily on industrial customization, sustainability credentials (CSC Gold since 2017, DNV-verified annual CO2 declarations, VBI GreenScore certification methodology, founding-partner status with the Dutch Green Building Council, and a 40%-lower environmental shadow price versus solid floors per NIBE classifications). Notable project references include The Edge Amsterdam, Stadskantoor Utrecht, Saxion Apeldoorn (remontabel building), Sensata Technologies, Boven de Hoven Delft, Aeres Almere, Plus Ultra Leiden, and Upfield Wageningen. VBI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Consolis, the European leader in prefabricated concrete construction solutions.
