What Gerritsen Group does

Gerritsen Group B.V. is a privately held Dutch industrial services company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Goirle, Netherlands. The company specializes in end-to-end industrial relocations, moving single machines, production lines or entire facilities across borders. Its service portfolio is organized around two integrated divisions: Logistics (transport, packing) and Projects (planning, dismantling, rebuilding, site clearance), unified under a 'Full Solution' turnkey offering. A complementary Circular Asset Management line focuses on extending machinery life through reuse, resale or repurposing during relocations.

Underlying execution rests on a large specialized asset base — a fleet of 3,862 vehicles and 370+ personnel distributed across 13 business units — operating in 28 countries. The group operates through wholly owned subsidiaries including Gerritsen Logistics, Gerritsen Projects, Gerritsen Logistics UK, Speedrite (acquired January 2024) and Numantransport, plus a jointly controlled entity, SSMI-AG. Customers include multinational manufacturers and industrial asset specialists (Nestlé, Mondelez, Mercedes, Rexroth, Gordon Brothers, Hilco) across 11+ verticals such as metal processing, food & beverages, automotive, pharmaceutical, chemicals and steel production.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts with bespoke scoping and quoting. The company's go-to-market is sales-led, engaging enterprise clients directly from initial consultation through project completion. The technology layer is limited to digital project reporting and real-time tracking tools rather than proprietary AI systems, and the company's competitive position is reinforced by an unusually broad set of safety and quality certifications (VCA, SafeContractor, CHAS, ISO 9001, IOSH, ISPM-15, NEBOSH, CITB SSSTS). No external funding, parent company, or public listing has been disclosed.
