What Hemmink does
Hemmink is a Netherlands-based B2B distribution and knowledge company serving the construction, industrial, and infrastructure sectors. Founded in 1951 in Zwolle as a trading agent, Hemmink has evolved into a 'knowledge partner' organized across three business units: Veilig en Comfortabel Wonen (Safe and Comfortable Living), which covers fire safety (smoke and heat detectors, MAUS Stixx PRO, Ei Electronics), carbon monoxide safety, electrical safety and reliability (Zeker Meten, installation testers from Metrel and TREND Networks), and building communication; Slim en Snel Installeren (Smart and Fast Installation), which provides pluggable installation systems, fastening solutions (Union, Celo, Schnabl), tacker and compressor tools, and grounding; and Industrieel Kabelmanagement (Industrial Cable Management), which offers cable glands and accessories (Hawke International, Wiska, Pflitsch, Eaton/Redapt), protection hoses, junction boxes, cable channels, and aerosol fire protection. The company combines proprietary sub-brands (Techno, Maus, Enduri, TIP) with a wide distribution portfolio of third-party brands, plus regulatory expertise (NEN2555, Machine Regulation 2027) and supporting content in blogs, webinars, and training programs.
Hemmink's core 'technology' is its product portfolio, regulatory knowledge, and supply-chain aggregation rather than a software platform. The company operates a product portal (producten.hemmink.nl / producten.hanzestrohm.nl) for browsing and ordering, runs training and webinar programs through Livestorm, and maintains active social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram). Customer-facing reference projects include a plug-in installation for the Fugro headquarters, a fire-safety concept for a portiekflat in Almelo with a housing corporation, and MAUS Stixx PRO deployment at installer Perquin. Hemmink is a subsidiary of Hanzestrohm, a Dutch strategic parent that also operates KWx Metercare, Kairos, and Fortona.
Hemmink's revenue model is primarily hardware sales (cable glands, smoke detectors, heat detectors, fastening systems, installation testers, industrial cable management) with a secondary revenue stream of training and knowledge services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is multi-channel: direct phone sales for enterprise customers including housing corporations, large contractors, and industrial clients; a network of distribution partners who resell to installers and contractors; and an e-commerce-style product portal for SMB and individual buyers. The company serves four primary personas — installers (installateurs), housing corporations (woningcorporaties), contractors and construction (aannemers en bouw), and distribution partners — plus secondary use-case verticals in panel building, wood construction, and conceptual/modular housing. Operations are confined to the Netherlands.
