Knipscheer Infra-Clean

What Knipscheer Infra-Clean does

Knipscheer Infra-Clean B.V. is a Dutch infrastructure cleaning and maintenance services provider founded in 2006 and headquartered in Dronten, Flevoland, Netherlands. The company operates as part of the Knipscheer Infra Groep, alongside sister entities Knipscheer Infrastructuur and Knipscheer Rail-Infra, employing between 11 and 50 staff (described as 20+). It delivers facade maintenance, pavement cleaning, weed control, glass washing up to 30 meters, graffiti removal, rail and platform cleaning, ice prevention, specialized industrial cleaning, and solar panel cleaning to public and commercial clients across the Netherlands.

Service delivery is built around a specialized equipment fleet: the SteamPlus 2.0 high-pressure steam unit operating at 140°C and up to 150 bar, the Meclean WeedPLUS 2.0, the Dibo Greenkiller, the Teupen Leo 30T boom lift for high-reach work, and Ravo and LM-Trac sweeping machines. The company carries an unusually deep certification stack — ISO 9001, ISO 14001, VCA** + BTR, CO2-Prestatieladder Trede 5, NEN 4400-1, SNA Keurmerk, Keurmerk SCHOON, and Code Verantwoordelijk Marktgedrag — which functions as a procurement gate for Dutch public-sector tenders.

Revenue is generated through service contracts with government and enterprise clients. Public-sector customers include the municipalities of Dronten, Lelystad, Zeewolde, De Wolden, and Noordoostpolder, Provincie Flevoland, and Waterschap Zuiderzeeland (a client since 2016). Enterprise customers include DeltaWonen (54 housing locations), MAC3PARK, Coloriet, Enercon, Morssinkhof Plastics, Asset Rail BV, and Strukton Rail. The company reports 500+ completed projects and serves 181+ glass-washing locations, with a third energy-neutral, gas-free premises in Dronten scheduled for 2026 to expand capacity.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Asito: Major Dutch cleaning and security/facility services group. Comparable for its Dutch government, housing-corporation, and commercial cleaning offerings, though it serves a broader national footprint and multiple service lines beyond exterior infrastructure cleaning.
• Hago: Established Dutch cleaning company providing services across offices, public space, and industrial customers. Comparable for its Dutch public-sector and commercial cleaning capabilities, though it is national in scope versus Knipscheer's regional infra focus.
• ISS Nederland: Global facility-services provider with a sizable Dutch cleaning business serving government, rail, and corporate clients. Comparable for facility-cleaning tenders including public infrastructure and rail, though at much greater scale and broader service portfolio.
• Sodexo Nederland: International facility-services provider with Dutch cleaning offerings for government and corporate accounts. Comparable for facility-cleaning scope, but operates at significantly larger scale and broader vertical breadth than Knipscheer.
• Gom Schoonmaak (Vebego): Large Dutch cleaning specialist serving public-sector, healthcare, office, and industrial clients. Comparable because it competes for Dutch municipal and institutional cleaning tenders, though it operates at a far larger national scale than Knipscheer.
• Facilicom Solutions: Dutch facility-services group providing cleaning, security, and maintenance to government and commercial clients. Comparable because it competes for Dutch public-sector cleaning contracts, though with a much broader national service portfolio.
• CSU Total Cleaning: One of the largest Dutch commercial cleaning and facility-services companies. Comparable as a Dutch cleaning service provider to corporate, government, and institutional clients, though it operates nationally and across many verticals versus Knipscheer's regional infrastructure focus.

Direct peers

• Aannemingsbedrijf BeZee: Dutch civil contractor active in Zeewolde and Flevoland municipal maintenance. Comparable because it both competes for and acts as prime contractor on weed-control and sweeping tenders in the same geographic market as Knipscheer.
• Krinkels BV: Dutch grounds-maintenance and civil contractor serving municipalities. Comparable as both a competitor for municipal weed-control/sweeping tenders and a prime contractor for whom Knipscheer Infra-Clean performs subcontracted sweeping.
• Multi Engineering: Dutch industrial and infra cleaning specialist covering wastewater facilities, tanks, and heavy infrastructure. Directly comparable to Knipscheer's industrial cleaning of AWZI's and pumping stations for Waterschap Zuiderzeeland.
