Schoonderwolf Group

What Schoonderwolf Group does

Schoonderwolf Groep B.V. is a privately held Dutch industrial holding company headquartered in Dedemsvaart, Netherlands, tracing its origins to 1966 when it began as Heering Kunststof Profielen BV. The group currently comprises approximately 20-25 wholly-owned operating companies active across three industrial sectors: construction finishing products (facade cladding, roof edges, ceiling systems, window sills, and profiles), plastics processing, and metal fabrication (galvanizing, laser cutting, and metal processing). Operating companies maintain autonomous commercial operations and serve B2B customers primarily in the Dutch construction and industrial markets, with geographic concentration in Noord- en Oost-Nederland (Northeastern Netherlands).

The central shared-services layer, branded Schoonderwolf Diensten, is delivered from the Dedemsvaart headquarters and provides finance, HR, ICT, project management, and marketing support to all portfolio companies. The technology stack is a standard enterprise suite — Salesforce CRM, SharePoint, Power BI, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP — managed in-house by a compact ICT team. Marketing is run through a dedicated central team that supports brand-building across the portfolio, including the flagship consumer-facing brand Keralit for plastic facade and roof edge products.

Revenue is generated through the sale of manufactured industrial products by each operating company to B2B customers in their respective vertical markets, with customized pricing and no public disclosure of rates or contracts. The group pursues a programmatic M&A strategy, adding new industrial companies annually to the portfolio, while shared services aim to professionalize, digitize, and future-proof the member companies beyond what they could achieve independently as standalone MKB firms.
