What C.A. de Groot Groep does

C.A. de Groot Groep is a Dutch family-owned demolition and environmental services company headquartered in Alkmaar, Netherlands, operating continuously since its founding in 1954. The company is structured around three integrated service lines: Sloop (demolition, including total, industrial, infrastructure, residential/commercial, renovation, specialist circular demolition, and fire damage remediation), Milieu (asbestos removal across residential, industrial, and soil applications, plus contaminated soil remediation), and Reststoffen (container rental, waste sorting, and circular materials recovery). It serves municipalities, healthcare organizations, construction and real estate developers, industrial companies, and insurance-driven fire-damage claims, with named engagements including Magentazorg healthcare facilities, Gemeente Alkmaar, Tata Steel, AFAS ERP, KNHH's Wagener Hockey Stadium, and Poland Bouw.

Its operational backbone is a complete owned machine park including portaalwagen container trucks and heavy-lift equipment, augmented by partner capacity (e.g., Mammoet's 700-ton telescopic crane) for unusually complex salvage jobs such as the 110-ton burned houseboat in Purmerend. The company holds a dense stack of Dutch mandatory certifications (VCA**, SVMS-007, BRL SIKB, Procescertificaat Asbestverwijderen, CO2 Prestatieladder Niveau 3, SCL Trede 3, ISO 9001/14001/27001) that are prerequisites for bidding on regulated public-sector work. Vertically integrated operations with sister company Reststoffen Centrale Alkmaar (RCA) at the same Alkmaar site provide in-house waste processing, and the Circulaire Hardhout HUB in Stompetoren commercializes reclaimed hardwood as a circular secondary revenue stream.

The business model is project-based professional services plus transactional waste streams: demolition and remediation are priced per quote, container rental is unit-priced with delivery and collection, and waste processing at RCA's covered environmental station is priced per metric ton inclusive of VAT and waste levy, with lower rates for pre-separated materials. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct outreach, the company website, Facebook, and project case studies, targeting enterprise and government buyers across North Holland and increasingly nationwide on marquee jobs. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
