Ecotax Beveiligingstechniek

What Ecotax Beveiligingstechniek does

Ecotax Beveiligingstechniek BV is a privately held Dutch perimeter security specialist headquartered in Willemstad, Netherlands, operating since 1996 with approximately 20 employees. The company designs, installs and services integrated outdoor security systems built around its proprietary APS3000 7,000V electric fence, combined with SensoGuard seismic ground detection, El-Far/El-Sense fence vibration detection with Weather Mode, radar detection, underground (anti-tunneling) detection, thermal and standard cameras, and the INSITE Security Management System that integrates alarms via TCP/IP, MODBUS and CANBUS into connected alarm monitoring centers. Ecotax self-develops and assembles its electronics in-house and produces mechanical components through Dutch social workshops, while distributing SensoGuard and El-Far technologies under partnership agreements.

The business is project-based: each client engagement is a custom-engineered scope following a free consultation, with pricing delivered as bespoke quotes rather than published tiers, supported by annual preventive maintenance contracts that include CE compliance checks, priority response within 24 hours, and battery/wear part replacement. Customer segments span more than 40 verticals, with primary emphasis on agriculture, logistics and rail (NS/ProRail protocol certification — claimed as a Dutch exclusive), automotive, government and correctional facilities, aviation, zoos, critical infrastructure (nuclear, energy, telecom), construction/rental, data centers and maritime anti-piracy. Named reference customers include Artis zoo, NS/ProRail, Boels Verhuur, DSV Solutions, Drankencentrale Maes, DHL, Heineken, Audi and Nuon; logos also display Essent and Harry Vroomen. Distribution is direct only — account managers and technicians run site assessments and installation/service end-to-end — with no resellers or distributors.

The company is founder-led by Director Henk Moerland and operates without external funding, M&A activity, or restructuring. Geographic emphasis is Netherlands and Belgium, with a Moerdijk regional office and Belgian phone line, alongside periodic worldwide references (airports, nuclear facilities, embassies) executed on a project basis. The firm also maintains an embedded distribution angle through a Risk Reduction Plan collaboration with insurer Centraal Beheer Achmea, and is recognized by the 2016 Nationale Business Succes Award (Branchewinnaar Beveiligingstechniek) and VCA occupational safety certification.

Core offering

Ecotax Beveiligingstechniek designs, manufactures, installs and maintains integrated perimeter security systems for outdoor terrains. Its offering centers on a proprietary APS3000 7000-volt electric fence system combined with seismic ground detection (SensoGuard), fence vibration detection (El-Sense), radar detection, underground tunneling detection, thermal imaging cameras and a central INSITE Security Management System. Solutions are sold as custom-engineered projects to enterprise and government customers across more than 40 sectors in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Product overview

Ecotax Beveiligingstechniek is a terrain perimeter security company offering a modular security ecosystem. The core offering centers on the APS3000 electric fence system (delivering 7000-volt deterrent shocks with sabotage detection), complemented by detection technologies including SensoGuard ground detection (seismic vibration), El-Far fence detection (vibration sensors), radar detection, and underground detection. These systems integrate with the INSITE Security Management System for centralized monitoring and alarm verification via camera systems. Solutions range from standard perimeter protection to high-risk security (prisons, airports, nuclear plants) with 3D planning, and include temporary security for construction sites. The portfolio also includes custom solutions developed in collaboration with customers.

Products and services

• APS3000 Schrikdraadsysteem (Electric Fence System) Proprietary 7000-volt electric fence system that delivers a deterrent shock and provides integrated sabotage detection. Developed and continuously refined in-house for over 30 years and applied to fences, free-standing posts or custom configurations for sites ranging from farms to prisons.
• Gronddetectie (Ground Detection) Seismic vibration detection system buried underground to detect intruders on premises. Uses SensoGuard technology with self-learning algorithms to distinguish between vehicles and footsteps, minimizing false alarms. Weather-resistant.
• Hekwerkdetectie (Fence Detection) Vibration detection system installed on fences to detect climbing or sabotage attempts. Uses El-Far technology with self-learning algorithms and Weather Mode to prevent false alarms during wind and rain. ATEX certified for explosive environments.
• INSITE Security Management System Central monitoring platform for managing all connected security systems. Enables alarm verification by linking alarms to camera footage, supports integration via potential-free contacts, TCP/IP, MODBUS and CANBUS, and connects to alarm centers and customer camera systems.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Securitas: Global security services giant increasingly bundling electronic perimeter solutions with guarding and monitoring. Represents the bundled-services threat to specialist perimeter integrators like Ecotax.
• ASSA ABLOY: Global access-control and entrance-security giant with perimeter security products (e.g., via subsidiaries such as ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems). Much broader portfolio but overlaps in integrated perimeter and access-control deployments.
• STANLEY Security (formerly Niscayah): Large electronic security integrator active across Europe including the Benelux market. Offers intrusion, video, and access solutions that compete for the same enterprise security budgets as Ecotax.

Direct peers

• Heras: Dutch-founded pan-European manufacturer and installer of perimeter fencing, gates, and integrated electronic security systems. Closest direct competitor in the Benelux market, with overlapping APS-style electric-fence and detection product lines.
• Gallagher Security: Global perimeter security specialist offering electric fencing, integrated sensors, and Command Centre management software. Comparable integrated perimeter stack targeting high-security and utility customers.
• Praesidiad (formerly Betafence): Belgian-headquartered global provider of perimeter protection systems including fencing, electric security, and access control. Highly comparable customer base across critical infrastructure, transport, and industrial sites.
• Nedap Security: Dutch security technology company specializing in access control, vehicle identification, and long-range RFID-based perimeter security. Comparable Dutch-origin specialist serving enterprise and government clients.

Emerging players

• Axis Communications: Network video and IP-based perimeter analytics provider whose camera-led approach competes with and complements Ecotax's fence-and-sensor stack. Relevant as a substitution and integration partner.
• Geutebrück: European video security specialist with perimeter analytics and integration capabilities. Competes for the same high-security projects where cameras and AI analytics increasingly substitute for legacy fence-based detection.

Regional players

• Zaun Group: UK-based perimeter fencing and security systems manufacturer with electronic detection and integrated solutions. Comparable product category but focused on UK/Ireland rather than Benelux.
