Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Heijmans: Major Dutch listed construction and real estate company with in-house technical installation capabilities. Comparable on integrated residential and renovation projects (e.g. large-scale housing corporation work), though with national breadth and capital markets access Van der Sluis lacks.
• Koninklijke Volker Stevin: VolkerWessels subsidiary active in Dutch construction, civil engineering, and technical installations. Comparable to Van der Sluis's Constructie division on steel and infrastructure projects, but at much larger scale.
• Equans Nederland: Multi-disciplinary technical services provider (formerly SPIE Nederland) covering installations, energy, and digital solutions for buildings and infrastructure. Competes for the same Dutch MEP and renovation contracts as Van der Sluis, but at significantly larger scale.
• BAM Bouw en Techniek: Royal BAM Group's Dutch building and technical services arm, delivering integrated construction, installations, and facility management. Overlaps with Van der Sluis on large Dutch residential and utility build projects, including those led by main contractors like BESIX/VORM.
• ENGIE Services Nederland: Large Dutch arm of ENGIE providing multi-discipline technical services, HVAC, energy solutions, and facility management. Competes with Van der Sluis on utility and commercial projects, with deeper capital and broader geographic reach.

Others

• DeLaval: Global supplier of dairy farming equipment whose milking robots and farm automation systems are installed and serviced by Van der Sluis Agri. Not a direct competitor, but a key technology partner and the dominant brand in the same agricultural automation ecosystem.

Regional players

• De Groot Installatiegroep: Mid-sized Dutch installation group focused on HVAC, electrical, and sanitary for residential, commercial, and industrial clients, primarily in the southern and central Netherlands. Comparable in scale and offering to Van der Sluis's installation division, with a regional focus rather than the Van der Sluis's northern-Netherlands stronghold.

Direct peers

• Unica: One of the largest Dutch technical installation and MEP service groups, covering HVAC, electrical, plumbing, security, and building automation. Direct overlap with Van der Sluis's Installatietechniek division on housing, utility, and renovation projects across the Netherlands.
• HOMIJ Technische Installaties: Dutch technical installer specialized in HVAC, electrical, and sanitary installations for residential, utility, and industrial projects. Direct mid-sized peer to Van der Sluis's Installatietechniek division.
• Croonwolter&dros: Dutch technical installer (part of TBI) focused on electrical, mechanical, and building services for residential, utility, and industrial clients. Closely comparable to Van der Sluis's installation and renovation work, including sustainability upgrades such as heat pumps and WKO.
