What Burgerhout does

Burgerhout is a Netherlands-based manufacturer of flue gas evacuation (rookgasafvoer), ventilation, and heat pump support systems, founded in 1865 and headquartered in Assen. The company operates as a subsidiary of the M&G Group, employs between 501 and 1,000 staff, and runs an active catalog of roughly 387 SKUs organized across three categories: flue gas evacuation (306 products), ventilation (78 products), and heat pumps (3 products). Its product lines include the Elytra combined roof terminal for indoor air/water heat pumps, the TwinSafe and Twinline concentric polypropylene flue gas systems, the EasyAir insulated ventilation package, the Hybalans+ air distribution system, and stainless steel and aluminum chimney assemblies from the Alu-Fix and DP25 ranges.

The company sells directly to professional HVAC installers (installateurs) in the Dutch market through its own website and direct sales relationships, with quote-based B2B pricing. The Burgerhout Academy provides technical training, regulatory content, and installation support to installers, partners, and employees, functioning as a knowledge ecosystem alongside the Downloads portal and content-driven LinkedIn presence. Customer segments include professional installers as the primary persona, with secondary segments in social housing corporations (woningcorporaties) for energy-transition renovation projects, ground-based residential, multi-story residential (gestapelde bouw), and commercial/institutional (utiliteit) buildings. Key certifications include CE marking under EN 14471:2013 for plastic flue lining systems.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of systems, components, and accessories; the company cites more than 2 million houses equipped with its solutions and over 8 million installer projects served over its 150+ year history. Recent strategic emphasis is on heat-pump-compatible systems driven by the Netherlands' gas-free housing transition mandate, exemplified by the Elytra launch and a renovated Dakkap Renovatieset for chimney renewal. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, financials are not reported, and the company operates exclusively within the Dutch market under the M&G Group umbrella.
