What Holland Shielding Systems does

Holland Shielding Systems B.V. is a Netherlands-based, privately held manufacturer founded in 1985 and headquartered in Dordrecht. The company designs and produces electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding solutions, including proprietary magnetic shielding materials (Mu-ferro HD, MuFerro MF-FS and MF-ECFS), stamped connector gaskets, conductive foams and rubbers, transparent shielding windows, power and signal filters, EMP-shielded racks, and complete prefabricated modular Faraday cages and shielded rooms. It also offers active compensation systems using correction coils that achieve magnetic field reductions up to 50,000x, plus TEMPEST measurements and SCIF consulting services for defense and intelligence customers requiring NATO TEMPEST-compliant environments. Engineering depth is the principal capability, with a specialized EMC team supporting customers from technical drawing through production on both standard catalog items and fully custom builds.

The company operates a sales-led B2B model combining direct sales through a multilingual website (English, Dutch, German, Turkish, Spanish) with a 24/7 quotation service and a network of authorized distributors, including AC Tasarim LTD STI in Turkey. Pricing is quote-based with a EUR 35 minimum order; large orders above EUR 54,378 ex VAT trigger three-stage installment payment terms. Revenue is generated from one-time sales of catalog components and engineered enclosures, plus project-based engineering and consulting services billed alongside larger installations. Customer segments are horizontal and include electronics manufacturers, defense and government, healthcare and medical imaging, aerospace/automotive/telecom, data centers, and personal protection consumers.

The company is led by founder and CEO Jan van Tienhoven. Operating geographies span Europe with stated global reach via digital channels, and the business is independently owned with no parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or acquisitions disclosed. With 11-50 employees and more than 30 years of operating history, the company occupies a specialized niche in a market where qualification cycles, compliance requirements (TEMPEST, SCIF, EMC), and integrated system design create barriers to switching once a customer relationship is established.
