Nederrijn Schoonmaak

What Nederrijn Schoonmaak does

Nederrijn Schoonmaak is a Dutch commercial cleaning services provider founded in 1976 by Paul van Gasselt and headquartered in Duiven, Gelderland, with a regional office relocated to Oss in September 2025. The company employs over 1,000 people and operates primarily in the Arnhem-Nijmegen-Duiven-Rosmalen-Oss corridor, delivering contract cleaning across four core verticals: offices (500+ clients, 600+ locations), education (75+ clients, 200+ locations), healthcare (20+ clients, 170+ locations), and leisure/events (50+ clients, 70+ locations). Named customers include NEC Nijmegen, Libema Open tennis tournament, The Dutch Masters equestrian event, ID Logistics, Attent Zorg en Behandeling, Pro Persona, Rijn IJssel College, and Amarant.

The service portfolio spans regular cleaning maintenance, window cleaning, specialist cleaning (carpet, facade, floor treatment, solar panel cleaning via robot, deep sanitary cleaning), and flexible staffing through an in-house Flex Pool. Technology components include the proprietary Nederrijn App launched in April 2024, i-Mop water-saving machines tied to the Made Blue water-donation program, Whiz robotic vacuum cleaners deployed since October 2021, and a DKS digital cleaning quality control system. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 27001 certifications, VCA safety, SieV-keurmerk, Zorglabel for healthcare (since 2021), and PSO-Trede 3 (highest level) for social employment, and is a signatory to the Code Verantwoordelijk Marktgedrag.

The business model is contract-based B2B with monthly billing and long-term recurring service agreements. Go-to-market is sales-led: commercial managers engage enterprise prospects directly, complemented by customer panels (klantpanel), referrals, and EU public-tender participation. Dedicated rayonleiders (district managers) oversee service delivery at client sites. Last disclosed revenue was €20 million in 2016 (1,200 employees at that time); the company has since been ranked #1 in the MT/Sprout Top 1000 ranking of Dutch service providers for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025). Management is held by a three-person directorial team: Chantal Bruil (Personnel & Organizational Development), Toine Arts, and Jasper Koetsier (Operations, appointed 2021).

• Sodexo: Global facility management and cleaning services major with Dutch operations across healthcare, education, and corporate segments; competes at the higher end of the market for large multi-site contracts.
• Atalian: International facility services group with Dutch operations offering cleaning, hygiene, and integrated FM — competes for the same enterprise and public-sector contracts but across multiple European geographies.
