Ingenieursbureau Heemskerk

What Ingenieursbureau Heemskerk does

Ingenieursbureau Heemskerk, doing business as Heemskerk Dairy, is a privately held Dutch B2B agricultural-input distributor headquartered in Diessen, Netherlands. The company serves primarily dairy farmers in the Netherlands and Belgium, with adjacent offerings for goat, pig, and horse producers, through a combined field-sales and e-commerce model. Its product assortment spans seven categories — breeding/genetics (semen, AI supplies, the GMS paring program), animal nutrition (FarmPEQ mineral line, single feeds, transition supplements), crop management (silage additives, biostimulants, seeds), udder and stall hygiene (HCP, UDDERgold, BoxClean, 4XLA), veterinary instruments, farm equipment, and fencing — supplemented by advisory visits from rundveespecialisten and in-house delivery to farms.

The business model is direct product sales at unit prices ranging from roughly €22 to €415 per SKU, with publicly disclosed volume-based tier discounts (e.g., 5–25% at higher quantities), all quoted excluding Dutch VAT (BTW). Revenue is generated one-time per order rather than via subscriptions or enterprise contracts, and the storefront supports Dutch, German, and French languages. Heemskerk also distributes proprietary or exclusive product lines (FarmPEQ, HCP, UDDERgold, Goat PEQ) alongside partner brands such as ABS (genetics), Agolin (essential-oil feed additive), and Actisaf (live yeast). The Geiterij division operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary targeting the dairy goat segment with its own specialist, Marcel van Bijsterveldt.

The company employs over 90 staff, holds VET internet-trade registration enabling compliant online veterinary-medicine sales, and carries registered biocides (BoxClean NL 13941N, UDDERgold Platinum NL 6813, 4XLA NL 9490). There is no disclosed parent company, no institutional investment, and no public revenue figure; the legal entity is a Dutch private limited company (KVK 18086470, BTW NL 8174.28.434.B01).
