Gooimeer

What Gooimeer does

Gooimeer B.V. is a Dutch family-owned international trading company founded in 1976 and headquartered in Almere, Netherlands, specializing in the sale, rental, and repurchase of steel sheet piles for water management, civil engineering, and infrastructure projects. The company supplies Z-profile (ZZ series), U-profile (Larssen VL series), and cold-rolled steel sheet piles, complemented by steel pipe piles, beams, corner profiles, interlock sealing systems (GSP bituminous and PU), and GEWI/ASF anchoring systems. The most distinctive product is Energiedamwanden (Energy Sheet Piles), a proprietary innovation co-developed with FET and Crux Engineering and now commercialized through the Energiedamwand Nederland joint venture, which integrates thermal energy collection into the structural sheet pile to enable gas-free heating and cooling of buildings. Gooimeer also provides an engineering tool, the Sheet Pile Corrosion Calculator (SPCC), a smartphone-accessible program for calculating residual strength and stiffness based on CUR 166 corrosion guidelines.

The business model combines one-time sales (new and used sheet piles, ancillary products) with recurring rental revenue for temporary constructions such as construction pits, cofferdams, and water barriers. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public disclosure. Gooimeer operates an enterprise field sales motion, maintaining a large inventory at its centrally located Almere facility for rapid national and international delivery via ship and truck. The customer base includes contractors in water construction, engineering firms, government bodies, and shipyards, with named projects spanning the Netherlands (Binnenhof, Almere, Amstelkwartier, KBF Dock, Blankenburgverbinding, Enkhuizen), Belgium (Oosterweel Antwerpen, 13,200 tons), France (Port-La Nouvelle floating wind), and the Faroe Islands. The company is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified, a member of the International MVO Metal Covenant, and emphasizes direct relationships and short communication lines as a family business with 11-50 employees.

Direct peers

• SSAB: Nordic steel manufacturer and one of Europe's primary producers of hot-rolled steel sheet piles. Competes head-to-head with Gooimeer on Z- and U-profile supply to contractors across the same European infrastructure market.
• Kloeckner & Co: European steel and metal product distributor with digital platform Xpert and broad stockholding. Closest analog in business model — multi-metal stockist serving construction and infrastructure with international delivery.

Broad incumbents

• ArcelorMittal: World's largest steelmaker with broad sheet pile and heavy steel sections offering. Competes upstream and increasingly bypasses distributors like Gooimeer with direct supply to large infrastructure customers.
• Voestalpine: Austrian steel manufacturer with a dedicated sheet pile product line and European-wide distribution. Comparable in serving civil engineering contractors on quay, tunnel, and foundation projects.
• Salzgitter AG: European steel producer with PEINER and HSP sheet pile offerings. Comparable upstream competitor serving the same civil engineering customer base across Benelux and Germany.
• Tata Steel: Global steel producer supplying sheet piles and structural sections to European infrastructure markets through its IJmuiden (NL) operations. Overlaps with Gooimeer in Dutch and adjacent markets.
• ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe: Major German steel manufacturer offering heavy sections and sheet pile grades. Competes for the same contractor base on large infrastructure projects in Germany and the Netherlands.

Regional players

• Koninklijke Boskalis Westminster: Large Dutch marine contractor and infrastructure builder that consumes sheet piles for coastal and quay projects. Comparable regional customer/profile and same Dutch infrastructure ecosystem, though downstream buyer rather than competitor.
• Voorbij Funderingstechniek: Dutch foundation/sheet pile contractor active in Amsterdam and Randstad infrastructure projects. Comparable regional specialist serving the same construction customer base in the Netherlands.

Emerging players

• Energiedamwand Nederland: JV entity co-founded by Gooimeer, FET, and Crux Engineering to commercialize energy-harvesting sheet piles. Closely intertwined peer/spin-off developing the same heat-exchanger-in-pile innovation.
