Installatiebedrijf FH Loohuis

What Installatiebedrijf FH Loohuis does

Installatiebedrijf FH Loohuis BV is a privately held Dutch technical installation company founded in 1959 by Frans Loohuis in Saasveld, Netherlands, and today led (since 1989) by sole shareholder Arjan Loohuis. The group operates seven Dutch branches — Saasveld (HQ), Ootmarsum, Daarle, Vroomshoop, Hengelo, Oldenzaal and Slochteren — plus a German subsidiary (Loohuis Melktechnik, Gronau), and employs more than 200 people across wholly-owned units that include Loohuis Keukens (kitchen showroom, Oldenzaal), Constructiewerken Twente (steel fabrication, Hengelo), Loohuis Melkveehouderijtechniek (dairy farming technology, Vroomshoop), Installatiebedrijf Pot (acquired, Slochteren), Loohuis Agro Neutraal (sustainable farm installations) and SAC Senior Oost (Ommen). It serves three customer segments — residential (particulieren), commercial (bedrijven) and agricultural (agrarisch: dairy, pig, poultry, goat, horse) — with electrical, plumbing, HVAC, ventilation, roofing, sanitation, refrigeration-with-heat-recovery, LED lighting, EV charging and building-management system installations.

The agricultural vertical is the technical differentiator. The firm designs and installs proprietary energy-recovery systems — Milk2Heat (heat captured from milk cooling, jointly developed with Mueller), Pigs2Heat (heat recovery from pig-barn airwasher water via in-house designed control cabinets), Warmte uit Mest (heat extracted from manure at 37 °C and upgraded by heat pumps) and heatpipes vacuum-tube collectors — combined with battery storage from Solax, SolarEdge, Kiwatt and Dyness, heat pumps from Alpha Innotec and Nibe, and third-party barn automation including Fancom climate and feeding systems, BouMatic/Dairymaster milking technology, JOZ-TECH and Barn-E manure robots, Spinder stall equipment, Lely milking robots and Agrilight AGRILED 3 series lighting (with documented 8–9% milk-yield uplift at 35,600 lumens). The firm also positions as a Dutch subsidy navigator across SDE+, ISDE, EIA, MIA and Vamil programs.

Revenue is generated via project-based installation contracts, recurring preventive-maintenance subscriptions, a 24/7 emergency service department, and hardware sales (notably kitchens at the Oldenzaal showroom). Pricing is bespoke per project and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is exclusively direct: own field sales teams at each branch, the kitchen showroom, a 24/7 dispatch operation, and trade-show presence (Rundvee & Mechanisatie Vakdagen Hardenberg, open-farm inspiration days). Marketing combines the company website, regional press (Tubantia), agricultural media (Nieuwe Oogst), and social/recruitment channels (werkenbijfhloohuis.nl). Quality is asserted via BRL 6000 install Q and Aantoonbaar Beter certifications.
