What the vermeulen group does

De Vermeulen Groep is a Dutch family-owned holding company formally established in 2018 with operating roots tracing to 1919, headquartered in Bussum, Netherlands. The group operates as a platform of seven specialized subsidiaries serving the construction materials supply sector: Kijlstra Bestrating (concrete paving products — tiles, pavers, drainage channels — for professional and decorative markets); Montapanel (kitchen countertops and washbasin elements for the mid-to-high segment); Fabiton (prefabricated construction systems, liquid-tight facilities, manure processing, wastewater treatment, and pump systems, with over 1,000 above-ground concrete storage tanks delivered); Beuker Kunststoffen and Beuker SP (plastic piping systems for sewage, water, gas, infiltration, and drainage, with Beuker SP also utilizing recycled PE and PP materials); Stabu (technical wholesale for metal and plastic piping, water technology, pumps, irrigation and pond technology serving green, agro, installation and recreation sectors); and Michel Oprey (natural stone and ceramics distribution in the Benelux). Underlying technology spans concrete production, plastic piping systems manufacturing (including custom design-engineering-production under one roof at Opmeer), prefabricated construction, and natural stone/ceramics distribution through exclusive long-term supplier relationships.

The business model is predominantly hardware sales, supplemented by professional services (planning, execution, repair, maintenance) provided by Fabiton. Revenue is generated across multiple GTM motions: channel partner / dealer networks for Kijlstra's decorative paving and Michel Oprey's natural stone; technical wholesale for Beuker Kunststoffen and Stabu; and direct sales plus project-based contracting for Fabiton (prefabricated construction and water treatment) and Montapanel (kitchen countertops). Customer segments span construction & infrastructure (primary), agriculture, installation & water technology, interior & design, and recreation, with the group serving architects, contractors, project developers, government bodies, and dealers.
