BoCari Groep

What BoCari Groep does

BoCari Groep is a Netherlands-headquartered, founder-led industrial engineering and consultancy group founded in 1998 by Grace Boldewijn and Julius Carrilho, operating from Breda with regional offices in Paramaribo (Suriname) and Willemstad (Curaçao). The company delivers multidisciplinary engineering services — including process engineering, electrical & instrumentation (E&I), mechanical & piping, industrial automation, infrastructure engineering, IT consulting, logistics process design, and energy transition engineering — to enterprise clients in the petrochemical, water, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, infrastructure, and energy sectors.

The group's technical core is built around recognized System Integrator partnerships with Siemens (Simatic S7, PCS 7, HMI) and ABB (XA 800, HMI), supported by a standard industrial design stack (EPLAN, AutoCAD, Plant3D, E3D, PDMS, MicroStation, Aspen Plus, HYSYS). It also co-developed DronoMetrics, a proprietary drone and imaging-based 3D as-built documentation technology in partnership with Terra Inspectioneering. Service delivery spans feasibility studies, basic and detail engineering, project management (IPMA/PRINCE2), automation (PLC/DCS/SCADA), commissioning, and aftercare, with specialized competence in Siemens S5-to-S7 migration and SIL/ATEX/EMC compliance engineering.

BoCari generates revenue through three streams: project-based engineering and consultancy on a Lump Sum/Turnkey basis, end-to-end project management and turnkey delivery, and government-contracted training services via the BoCari Training & Experience Academy (contracted under UWV's Inkoopkader Scholingsdiensten 2021). The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with direct enterprise engagement, project-based quoting, and named unit-level account management. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no public listing, and concentrated founder ownership; revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Others

• Aveva: Industrial software and engineering data platform serving process and plant industries — adjacent ecosystem participant that BoCari integrates and could leverage for digital-twin / DronoMetrics workflows.

Broad incumbents

• Worley: Global energy and chemicals engineering/services firm delivering process, automation, and project delivery to refineries and petrochemical plants — directly comparable to BoCari's primary petrochemical segment.
• Wood Group: Global engineering and consultancy firm focused on energy, chemicals, and process industries — comparable on process engineering, automation, and project delivery in petrochemical end markets.
• Yokogawa Electric: Process automation vendor and system-integrator ecosystem organizer (DCS, SIS, SCADA) competing in the same industrial automation partner-channel space as BoCari's Siemens/ABB-led offering.
• Arcadis: Amsterdam-listed engineering and consultancy group with deep Dutch roots covering water, industry, and infrastructure — relevant peer on geography, sector overlap, and turnkey-style service delivery.
• Sweco: European engineering consultancy with strong Netherlands/Belgium presence covering water, energy, infrastructure, and industry, comparable on cross-disciplinary engineering delivery and regional market footprint.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: Large Dutch engineering consultancy covering process, energy, water, and infrastructure. Operates broadly in the same industries as BoCari (petrochemical, water, energy transition, infrastructure) but as a much larger portfolio player.

Direct peers

• Stork Technical Services: Dutch-headquartered industrial technical services and maintenance provider (now part of Fluor) delivering E&I, mechanical, and process support to process industries across Europe and the Caribbean, overlapping directly with BoCari's multi-disciplinary industrial services model.
• Bilfinger: European industrial services group delivering process, E&I, automation, and maintenance to chemical, petrochemical, and energy clients — same core capabilities as BoCari at significantly larger scale.
• Tebodin (Bilfinger Tebodin): Dutch-origin engineering consultancy within Bilfinger delivering process, E&I, and multi-disciplinary industrial engineering across the Netherlands and wider Europe — same heritage, services, and customer profile.
