Mulder Europe

What Mulder Europe does

Mulder Europe B.V. is a Dutch private limited company headquartered in Dordrecht, Netherlands, that designs, manufactures, and services concrete mixers for the construction, marine, and offshore industries. Founded in 1924 as a wagon-making workshop and specializing in concrete mixers since 1955 (exclusively since 1998), the company offers a comprehensive portfolio including truck-mounted mixers (H-Series, 4-17 m³), trailer-mounted mixers, demountable mixers for cable/hook-arm systems, stationary mixers with support legs (4-15 m³), construction-site mixers (4-12 m³), and factory-hall mixers (4-30 m³), supported by custom-built solutions and aftermarket service.

The company's core technology is the EcoDrive line of 100% electric drive systems. EcoDrive 2.0, launched in 2023, features a Synchronous Reluctance Internal Permanent Magnet motor (90 kW, 235 Nm torque), water-cooled modular lithium-ion battery packs, an automotive-grade Battery Management System with remote login, and an intrinsically safe automotive-grade plug architecture supporting both standard 22 kW and optional 127 kW fast charging. The stationary EcoDrive RB9 (9 m³) targets zero-emission construction sites. Mulder is the self-declared oldest concrete mixer manufacturer in the Netherlands and is part of the Van Aalst Group, with sister companies in Marine & Offshore bulk handling and offshore wind gangways.

Mulder operates a B2B enterprise sales model, selling direct to concrete producers, transport companies, and construction firms primarily in the Netherlands via quote-based pricing (no public price list). Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of mixers and EcoDrive systems, plus recurring professional services revenue from preventive maintenance, repairs, on-site service, drum emptying, and damage repair performed at the Dordrecht workshop or on customer sites. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications and is privately held under the Van Aalst Group conglomerate.
