Booij Machinetechniek

What Booij Machinetechniek does

Booij Machinetechniek B.V. is a privately held Dutch industrial machine services company founded in April 2008 by Niels Booij and headquartered in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. The firm specializes in preventive maintenance, repair, and revision of industrial machine parks, alongside custom engineering and in-house apparatus construction covering turning, milling, sheet metal work, and electrical panel engineering, with CE certification delivered on all built equipment. Service delivery is performed on customer sites by certified technicians or at the company's 1,250 m² workshop, with emergency breakdown (calamiteiten) coverage outside business hours and recurring Machine Onderhoudsplan contracts forming the recurring-revenue backbone.

The company also manufactures the Butcher Power line of industrial meat mincers (FA(P)240 and FA360 variants) and holds long-standing dealer and service-partner rights for Marmak packaging machinery across the Benelux. Customers include large food-processing and industrial enterprises such as FrieslandCampina, Lamb Weston, Royal Smilde, DSM, Tetra Pak, Graphic Packaging, and Peijnenburg, alongside smaller regional manufacturers, with the customer base largely concentrated in Friesland and the wider Netherlands.

Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services (maintenance, revision, engineering), recurring subscription-like machine maintenance contracts, and hardware sales (Butcher Power machines, Marmak packaging equipment, and bespoke spare parts). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year service contracts and on-demand repair work alongside one-off machine sales. The company is founder-owned, has no institutional capital, and operates with a stabilized team of approximately 25 employees following incorporation as a B.V. in 2016 and a 2024 relocation to a new facility at Edisonstraat 24 on the De Zwette industrial estate.
