Loonbedrijf van Vliet

What Loonbedrijf van Vliet does

Loonbedrijf J.M. van Vliet B.V. is a second-generation Dutch family-owned contracting (loonwerk) company headquartered in Ter Aar, South Holland, founded in 1967 by Jan van Vliet. The firm operates four integrated service lines from a single fleet of 457 machines and a staff of approximately 76: machine rental (with or without operator), earthmoving and civil/cultural engineering, full-cycle agricultural contracting for livestock and arable farmers, and manure distribution and transport, the last of which moves roughly 210,000 m³ annually across a 15-truck daily fleet. Customers span municipalities, water boards, provinces, contractors, sports clubs, and individual farmers in the Groene Hart region, with revenue generated through project-based quotes and recurring service contracts.

The underlying operating model is asset- and certification-intensive rather than software- or IP-driven. The company holds a dense compliance stack, VCA**, ISO 9001, BRL 7000 protocol 7003, GMP+FSA B3&B4, VKL*, CO2 Performance Ladder Level 5, and SCL, that functions as a procurement gate for Dutch public tenders. Service delivery is direct and on-site, complemented by regional joint ventures (Bodemkracht for soil advisory, De Bagging Machine for feed/biomass bagging) that extend the offering beyond pure equipment hire. The firm is wholly family-controlled, with Robbert-Jan van Vliet as director and Carolien van Vliet as co-director, and reports no external investors, debt issuance, or M&A activity in the disclosed record.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Mateco: Major Benelux equipment rental provider specializing in aerial work platforms, forklifts, and telescopic handlers. Overlaps with Van Vliet's machine rental business and represents a scaled rental incumbent in the same geography.
• Boels Rental: Largest Dutch/Benelux equipment rental company with extensive fleet of construction, agricultural, and earthmoving machines. Comparable to Van Vliet's machine rental line (457 machines) but at much greater scale and without the operator/agricultural services integration.

Direct peers

• H.A.B.O. Noordeloos B.V. Agricultural contractor from Noordeloos and the third JV partner in De Bagging Machine. Operates a similar agricultural contracting and earthmoving service portfolio in the Netherlands.
• Vink Aanneming B.V. Dutch civil engineering and earthmoving contractor with overlapping services in ground improvement, infrastructure, and sports field construction. Comparable on the civil/earthmoving side of Van Vliet's business.
• Gebr. Kok: Agricultural contractor from Bakkeveen and direct JV partner in De Bagging Machine. Operates a comparable Dutch loonwerker business across agricultural services, machine rental, and biomass handling, making it one of the most directly comparable peers.
• Van den Heuvel Loonwerken: Dutch agricultural contractor offering comparable custom farming, earthmoving, and manure distribution services. Comparable regional loonwerker operating in the same vertical with similar service mix.
• Gebr. Van der Steen Loonwerken: Established Dutch agricultural contractor with a comparable portfolio of agricultural services, earthmoving, and machine rental. Operates in a similar niche across the Netherlands.

Regional players

• Van der Spek B.V. Dutch construction equipment supplier and rental operator. Comparable through shared machine fleet and customer base of Dutch contractors and municipalities, though focused on sales/rental rather than operated services.
• Hegeman Bouwgroep: Dutch construction contractor with overlap on infrastructure, groundworks, and public-sector projects. While primarily a general builder, it competes for the same municipal and water-board tenders Van Vliet targets.

Emerging players

• Agri Specials B.V. Dutch agricultural services provider focused on specialized agronomic services. Comparable in its targeting of Dutch arable and livestock farmers, though smaller and more specialized than Van Vliet's full-service offering.
