What Erdi does

Erdi is a Dutch family-owned technical services company, founded in 1950 and headquartered in Zaandam, operating through three private limited entities (Erdi Las- en Constructiebedrijf BV, Erdi Verkeerstechniek BV, and Erdi Wegbebakening BV). The company develops, produces, installs, and maintains street furniture (bollards, benches, bicycle racks, waste bins, tree grates, shelters), traffic technology (retractable and security bollards, boom barriers, license plate recognition, camera surveillance, Vezip selective-access systems), and road marking equipment (traffic signs, beacons, lane separation, speed displays) for public spaces throughout the Netherlands.

The product portfolio is anchored by proprietary technology including the KVS (Klapbaar Vergrendeling Systeem) folding locking mechanism for retractable bollards, the Solar Flash LED system for solar-powered illuminated bollards, the CMSE central management platform that integrates license plate recognition, parking guidance, and bicycle detection, and high-security barriers certified to ASTM F2656-07 M50/P2. Notable sub-brands include FietsFlex (flexible bicycle-path bollards with circular-design principles), Canapé (outdoor seating in FSC-certified wood), and a Klemm-Fix distribution line through a 30+ year partnership with Horizont Klemmfix.

Erdi's business model combines one-time hardware sales (bollards, signs, benches, shelters), project-based installation services, recurring 24/7 maintenance contracts following CROW publication 246 guidelines, and a webshop for standardized catalog items priced in tens to low-thousands of euros. Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based enterprise sales to Dutch provinces, municipalities, and construction contractors, with named reference customers including Gemeente Amsterdam, Gemeente Utrecht, Gemeente Castricum, Gemeente Midden-Groningen, Gemeente Gooise Meren, and Schiphol Airport. The company is privately held with 101-250 employees and operates exclusively within the Netherlands.
