Hoogenboom Valves

What Hoogenboom Valves does

Hoogenboom Valves is a privately held Dutch industrial manufacturer of process gas valves and damper systems, operating as a registered trademark of Ingenieursbureau Zeeland Technovatie BV. Founded in 1983 by MSc. Louk Hoogenboom and headquartered in Kapelle, Zeeland, the company designs and produces butterfly damper valves, bypass/3-way valves, blocking air dampers, louvre dampers, backflow valves, and specialized maritime/scrubber/SCR flue gas valves. Products are specified for extreme conditions — operating temperatures up to 1100°C and sizes up to 3000mm (5000mm for louvre dampers) — with housings in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and PVC, and ATEX-certified variants available for explosive environments. Manufacturing is performed in a single expanded workshop using Solid Edge 3D CAD and laser cutting.

The firm runs a direct, engineering-led go-to-market in which sales engineers and customers iterate together from offer through 3D design, production, testing, and delivery, with worldwide shipping via road, sea, and air freight. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time hardware sales of custom-engineered valves plus a stream of original spare parts, with competitive project-by-project pricing and a small catalogue of standard Series 25 stock valves available for quick delivery. The customer base is enterprise-industrial, spanning energy/heat recovery, biogas, SCR catalysts, scrubbers, cogeneration/WKK, boilers, power plants, maritime emissions control, food processing, and greenhouse horticulture, with named project deliveries to the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, and the UK. The business is small and compact — 13 employees including three senior engineers (Theo Bickelmeijer since 2017, Pim van Duijne from November 2024, Sander Dingemanse from early 2025) — and has just undergone an ownership transition from Evert Voskuil to Gert Quint in 2024, with no external investors or VC funding disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Alfa Laval: Broad incumbent: Alfa Laval supplies heat exchangers, separators, and fluid handling equipment including emissions control systems for the maritime industry. Comparable to Hoogenboom in maritime scrubber and flue gas handling applications, but operates at significantly larger scale and broader scope.
• KSB SE & Co. KGaA: Broad incumbent: KSB is a large German manufacturer of industrial pumps, valves, and related systems serving power, water, and process industries. Overlaps with Hoogenboom in industrial valves for power plants, chemical facilities, and large-scale process gas applications, but operates at much broader scale.
• Crane Co. Broad incumbent: Crane's Engineered Materials segment includes industrial process valves (Crane ChemPharma & Energy, Crane Supply) used in chemical, petrochemical, and power applications. Comparable in target verticals (chemical, energy) but with significantly broader product breadth and global footprint.
• Flowserve Corporation: Broad incumbent: Flowserve is a major global flow control company producing industrial valves, pumps, and seals for power, oil & gas, chemical, and water industries. Competes with Hoogenboom in industrial process valves, particularly for power generation and chemical plant applications.
• Pentair Flow Control: Broad incumbent: Pentair's Flow Control segment produces valves, fittings, and fluid handling solutions for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications. Overlaps with Hoogenboom in industrial process valves but addresses much broader markets at greater scale.

Direct peers

• Samson Controls: Direct peer: Samson is a German manufacturer of industrial control valves and regulators for process industries including power generation, chemicals, and refineries. Comparable custom-engineered control valve offering and similar target customers (engineering departments and EPCs) as Hoogenboom.
• Dungs GmbH: Direct peer: German manufacturer of gas valves, pressure regulators, and combustion controls for industrial heating and burner systems. Overlaps with Hoogenboom's louvre valves, blocking air dampers, and burner air regulation products for industrial combustion applications.
• Kromschröder (Elster / Honeywell): Direct peer: Kromschröder (now part of Honeywell/Elster) manufactures industrial gas valves, butterfly valves, and combustion control valves for industrial heating and process gas applications across Europe. Overlaps directly with Hoogenboom's butterfly damper, blocking air, and bypass valve portfolio serving boiler, burner, and heat recovery systems.
• Belimo: Direct peer: Swiss manufacturer of HVAC damper actuators and control valves used in building ventilation and industrial air handling. Hoogenboom explicitly integrates Belimo GM230A/SF230A actuators with its damper valves, and both compete for louvre/damper applications in HVAC and process air systems.
• Velan Inc. Direct peer: Velan is a Canadian manufacturer of industrial valves (butterfly, gate, globe, check) for severe service applications including power, oil & gas, and chemical. Comparable in high-spec industrial valve engineering and custom solutions, though at larger scale.
