What Kemp Groep does

Kemp Groep is a Netherlands-based dealer and importer specializing in earthmoving, road construction, and hydraulic engineering equipment, founded in 1953 and headquartered in De Meern. The company operates a multi-brand platform distributing machines from Kobelco, Atlas, BOMAG, Weycor, Sunward, Canycom, KATO, and Morooka, complemented by an extensive attachments division covering Engcon, SMP, Steelwrist, Rototilt, OKADA, Topcon, and Digga. Across 14 branches in the Netherlands and Belgium, Kemp Groep sells new and used machines, rents equipment through sister brands Huur&Stuur and DBK Rental, and runs an in-house parts webshop with multi-tier aftermarket service contracts (Basic, Premium, Premium+, Excellent) at fixed monthly rates covering labor, parts, fluids, BMWT inspections, and software updates.

The core technology is heavy construction equipment rather than software; Kemp Groep's differentiated technical offering centers on a 2024-launched electric equipment portfolio (Sunward electric excavators, Atlas E165W mobile excavator, BOMAG electric tandem rollers/rammers/plate compactors, Canycom SC30 EV dumper) and the proprietary De Zonnekoning mobile solar power unit, which combines 60 m² of tracking solar panels, up to 100 kWh battery storage, a backup generator, and the GEOS app for real-time CO₂ and nitrogen reporting. The Komexs GPS telematics platform provides machine tracking and automated maintenance-scheduling notifications across the installed base.

Revenue is generated through one-time new and used machine sales (e.g., Weycor AR380 at €48,775 ex VAT, AR530 at €99,720 ex VAT), subscription service contracts, usage-based rental, hardware parts and accessories sales, and a build-to-order configurator-driven machine customization channel. The company serves Dutch and Belgian construction and earthmoving contractors, civil engineering (GWW) firms, demolition and recycling operators, and rental companies, with sales-led consultative field selling across each branch supplemented by an online configurator and an SSEB subsidy advisory service for zero-emission equipment purchases. Kemp Groep is a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Reesink B.V.

Direct peers

• Van der Spek: Volvo Construction Equipment dealer in the Netherlands distributing excavators, wheel loaders, and compaction equipment with a comparable multi-branch service model and similar target customer base of Dutch contractors.
• Mateco: Dutch-based specialist in aerial work platform, forklift, and telescopic handler rental. Sister-brand rental operator with similar sister-company structure to Kemp's Huur&Stuur, targeting the same Dutch contractor base.
• Pon Equipment: Caterpillar dealer for the Netherlands, also operated under the broader Pon Holdings group. Direct competitor with overlapping multi-branch Benelux coverage, full-line earthmoving portfolio, and similar parts/service/rental model.
• Smits Neuchâtel: Dutch multi-brand dealer for compact equipment (Bobcat, Yanmar, etc.) serving contractors, municipalities, and rental companies. Comparable product range in mini/compact earthmoving and similar GTM via branch network.
• Cofra Amsterdam: Amsterdam-based infrastructure contractor and equipment provider active in ground, road, and water works (GWW). Comparable end customer overlap and similar geographic concentration in the Dutch market.

Emerging players

• Big Machinery: Dutch used construction equipment specialist with global export reach. Adjacent competitor in Kemp's used machine (occasions) business; competes for resale economics rather than the new equipment market.
• Riwal: Pan-European aerial work platform rental specialist with strong Dutch footprint. Partial overlap — focuses on aerial platforms rather than earthmoving — but competes for the same fleet-management wallet of Dutch/Benelux contractors.

Broad incumbents

• Caterpillar: Global construction equipment OEM whose dealer network (including Pon Equipment) directly competes for Kemp's customer base. Relevant as a structural incumbent shaping dealer economics and channel strategy in Benelux.
• Boels Rental: Major pan-European equipment rental company headquartered in the Netherlands with extensive Benelux density. Competes with Huur&Stuur/DBK for project-based rentals and increasingly for telematics-enabled fleet contracts.
• Loxam: Europe's largest equipment rental company with broad coverage of aerial, earthmoving, and specialty equipment. Larger incumbent with overlapping customer base; Loxam's pan-European scale and digital platform represent competitive pressure on Kemp's rental arm.
