Ferna Services

What Ferna Services does

Ferna Services B.V. is a privately held, family-owned Dutch metalworking company headquartered in Roosendaal, Netherlands, operating a single-site workshop with 16 specialized craftsmen. It produces custom industrial components in steel, stainless steel (RVS) and aluminium, with services spanning cutting (waterjet up to 6000x3000mm, plasma, fiber laser), CNC plate and profile rolling, press braking and certified welding (MIG/MAG, TIG, electrode, STT). Production is fully in-house with no subcontractors, and RVS and steel are manufactured in physically separated production spaces to prevent cross-contamination. Engineering review of every customer drawing is performed prior to production, and every delivery is accompanied by full QAQC documentation (material certificates 3.1/3.2, inspection dossiers, WPS/WPQ).

The company's commercial proposition targets industrial contractors and end customers whose own workshops are at capacity and who need rapid, certified delivery — averaging 2-4 weeks with fixed (not indicative) delivery dates and a stated 99.9% on-time completion rate. It holds ISO 9001, VCA, EN-1090 (EXC 2 and EXC 3), ISO 3834-2, Lloyd's Register, AWS and ASME certifications, and serves six verticals: petrochemistry (Shell), tank building (Verwater), offshore (Heerema, Damen), water management, electricity supply (TenneT-related grid work), and general industrial custom fabrication. Named reference customers include Damen, VolkerWessels, Krohne, Actemium, De Kok Staalbouw, Ivens and Polytec, with cumulative metrics of 5,120+ projects completed and 19,625 tons of metal processed.

Commercially, Ferna runs a project-based, quote-driven model with no minimum order value for business customers and an optimal project size band of €20,000-€200,000. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales — customers submit technical drawings via web form or email and receive a fixed quote within 48 hours — supplemented by technical content marketing on LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube and a blog. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is not funded and operates without external investors. Distribution is exclusively domestic (Netherlands), with on-site assembly delivered by VCA-certified staff as an add-on service alongside Conservering (galvanizing/coating), Engineering (SolidWorks), Transport and additional rolling/bending/cutting capacity.
