Hanse

What Hanse does

Hanse BV is a privately held Dutch family-owned steel and total construction company headquartered in Nieuwerkerk, Zeeland, Netherlands. The company operates as a main contractor (hoofdaannemer) delivering complete construction projects from permit application (vergunningsaanvraag) through handover (oplevering), with a workforce of approximately 170 employees. Hanse serves four primary verticals: utility construction (offices, retail, warehouses), agricultural construction (barns, storage), industrial construction (manufacturing plants, distribution centers), and residential construction (including steel homes), supplemented by renovation services covering roof, facade, and asbestos remediation.

The company's core technology stack combines in-house engineering, an owned production hall for steel fabrication (productiehal), and dedicated on-site assembly teams, enabling both shell construction (casco) and turn-key delivery formats. Hanse holds industry-standard compliance certifications including NEN-EN1090-1 for structural steelwork, ISO 3834-2 for fusion welding quality, ISO 14001 for environmental management, VCA Petrochemie for petrochemical safety, and CE marking for European market access. Auxiliary services include machine building, small metalwork (kleinmetaal), steel supply (toelevering staal), industrial doors (bedrijfsdeuren), and prefabricated insulated units.

Revenue is generated through one-time project fees under a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market motion that emphasizes word-of-mouth referrals. Pricing is quote-based and varies by project scope, complexity, materials, and delivery format, with no public pricing disclosure. The customer base is distributed across commercial, agricultural, industrial, and residential property developers and businesses in the Netherlands. Hanse markets through a combination of organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), a project portfolio website, and a request-only print magazine. The firm maintains a captive training pipeline via the Hanse Vakschool and operates its own equipment fleet under Hanse Materieel.
