THB Verhoef

What THB Verhoef does

THB Verhoef B.V. is a family-owned Dutch distributor and service provider of marine and industrial engine components, headquartered in Zwijndrecht (Rotterdam area) and operating since 1979. The company holds authorized distributor agreements with leading European OEMs including Mahle, Bosch, Miba, Goetze, Eibach, Mann+Hummel, Märkisches Werk, Maridis, Zexel, CMR, and AVL, and positions itself as the largest stockist of European marine engine components, with a 15,000m2 warehouse facility. Its product portfolio spans bearings, pistons, piston pins, piston rings, cylinder head components, industrial springs, filters and centrifugal filters, fuel equipment, liners, gaskets, connecting rods, coolers, crankshafts/camshafts/blocks, and special tools — covering nearly 90 multiband medium-speed diesel and gas engine types.

The company's revenue mechanics combine transaction-based parts sales with hardware-related service revenue (engine repair, reconditioning, cylinder head repair) and professional technical services, the latter significantly expanded by the 2023 acquisition of Bengi B.V. and Diesel Injection Vliegenthart B.V. Go-to-market is dual-channel: a dedicated 24/7 enterprise field-sales team serving global shipping operators directly, and a global network of regional distributors and sales agents (Royal Blue Ltd. and Marevanton Hellas in Greece, NEMOMARIN in Turkey, Vestas Aircoil in Benelux), supported by an e-commerce webshop for classic parts. Customer segments are vertical-organized across Marine (primary), Powerplants & Energy, Oil & Gas, Aerospace, Railway, and Motorsports.

Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with batch-sized pricing for volume orders. The company is ISO 9001 (since 2014) and ISO 14001 (since 2023) certified by DNV, holds an A+++++ energy label, and operates 790 solar panels and electric transport vehicles. Additional strategic positioning includes a 2022 Hydrogen Innovation Point, a 2023 DASPOS A/S partnership for fire-safety systems, and Green Award Incentive Provider status offering a 4% parts discount to certified vessels.
