Coolserve

What Coolserve does

Coolserve B.V. is a Netherlands-based independent specialist in cooling, refrigeration, and climate-control technology, operating from Haaksbergen (headquarters) and Heerenveen (regional office). Founded in 2001 and operating with a headcount of 11–50, the company supplies, installs, and maintains air conditioning, VRF/VRV systems, split systems, air-water heat pumps (Ecodan), rooftop air-handling units, heat-recovery ventilation (WTW), cool and freeze cells, waterchillers/DX refrigeration machines, and plug-and-play equipment (refrigerators, freezers, ice machines) for commercial and industrial customers.

Technically, Coolserve assembles custom cooling machines in its own workshop, integrates third-party control cabinets with optional datalogger modules for HACCP-compliant temperature registration, and operates a remote-management platform that receives malfunction alerts and performs remote diagnostics. It carries three relevant credentials: F-Gassen certification (handling fluorinated refrigerants), PED certification (Pressure Equipment Directive, allowing CE marking of installations), and the NVKL quality label.

The business model combines one-time equipment sale-and-installation projects with recurring revenue from preventive maintenance contracts, 24/7 emergency breakdown service, and remote-management subscriptions. GTM is direct enterprise field sales — engineers sell and deliver full projects from calculation through installation and lifecycle service. Customers span retail (Coop Supermarkten), financial services (ING Nederland, Rabobank), government (multiple gemeentehuizen), healthcare (Meriant, Zorgaccent), sports/hospitality (S.C. Heerenveen, Golden Tulip Tjaarda), and printing/manufacturing (Posterama, Ipskamp Drukkers) across the Netherlands.
