Dubbeldam Groep

What Dubbeldam Groep does

Dubbeldam Groep is a Dutch privately held company founded in 1966 as a family bodywork and damage repair shop, headquartered in Schelluinen, Netherlands, with seven additional branches across the country. The company provides custom vehicle body construction (carrosseriebouw), hydraulic system design and installation, commercial vehicle damage repair and painting, specialized waste collection bodywork, and ongoing service and maintenance for trucks and commercial vehicles. Its service portfolio spans loading beds (open and closed), tail lifts, roll-back wreckers, truck-mounted cranes, hook arm systems, cable/chain systems, gantry arms, hydraulic power units, tippers, and waste collection bodies including sweepers, shredders, swill collection units, and multi-stream collection systems.

The business operates a B2B field-sales model with direct service delivery from its eight physical workshop locations and on-site service visits, targeting transport and logistics companies (e.g., HAVI, Den Hartogh, Vlot Logistics, Schenk, Verspui), municipalities requiring specialized waste and street cleaning vehicles (e.g., Prezero), and individual entrepreneurs and small fleet operators. Customer logos span logistics, freight transport, waste management, and chemical logistics, reflecting the breadth of commercial vehicle applications served. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts for custom builds, one-time damage repair work, hydraulic installation projects, and recurring service and maintenance contracts on installed systems, with all pricing provided on a quote basis per project specifications.

The company employs 251–500 staff including skilled craftsmen across its workshop network, holds BOVAG trade association membership, and maintains a multi-language website (Dutch, English, German) targeting both domestic and cross-border fleets. Ownership remains with the founding family, with no disclosed parent company, private equity backing, or institutional investment. The company is currently recruiting, indicating ongoing headcount expansion to support branch-level capacity.

Direct peers

• HMF Group: Danish manufacturer of truck-mounted loader cranes, hook arms, and hydraulic solutions for commercial vehicles. Directly competes with Dubbeldam's hydraulic systems offering for transport and recycling fleets, particularly in Northern European markets.
• Zoeller Group: German manufacturer of refuse collection vehicle bodies, lifting equipment, and commercial vehicle superstructures. Strong direct overlap with Dubbeldam's bodywork and waste collection product lines, particularly in the German-speaking market.
• Geesinknorba: Netherlands-based manufacturer of refuse collection vehicle bodies and stationary compactors, with a strong municipal and waste-management customer base. Directly comparable to Dubbeldam's waste collection (afvalinzameling) product line and represents its most direct domestic competitor in the specialized municipal body segment.
• Palfinger: Austrian global leader in truck-mounted loader cranes, hook lifts, and hydraulic systems. Directly competes with Dubbeldam's hydraulic systems and truck-mounted crane (autolaadkraan) product lines, with both companies serving commercial vehicle upfitters and end fleets across Europe.
• Joab (Söderhamn): Swedish manufacturer of refuse collection vehicle bodies and waste handling systems. Directly comparable to Dubbeldam's waste collection bodywork focus, serving municipal and private waste operators across Northern Europe.

Broad incumbents

• DAF Trucks: Netherlands-based commercial truck OEM and a Dubbeldam customer (listed in reference logos). A larger incumbent in the broader commercial vehicle ecosystem in which Dubbeldam operates as a bodybuilder and repair partner; relevant for supply-chain dynamics and potential OEM verticalization risk.
• Volvo Trucks: Sweden-based global commercial truck manufacturer with its own bodybuilder partner network. Not a direct competitor in bodywork fabrication, but a major OEM whose decisions on bodywork partnerships and in-house capabilities directly affect Dubbeldam's addressable market.
• Hiab (Cargotec): Finland-based global leader in loader cranes, hooklifts, and demountable systems for trucks. A larger, publicly listed incumbent in the same truck-mounted hydraulic equipment category that Dubbeldam serves, with significantly broader geographic reach and product portfolio.
• Scania: Sweden-based global commercial truck and bus manufacturer. Larger incumbent in the broader commercial vehicle space; comparable to the OEMs whose chassis Dubbeldam upfits and whose verticalization decisions shape the bodybuilder market.

Regional players

• Terberg Environmental: Part of Dutch Terberg Group, this division manufactures waste collection vehicles and related refuse handling systems. Operates in adjacent municipal specialty vehicle space with significant overlap to Dubbeldam's waste collection and municipal customer base.
