Centri

What Centri does

Centri N.V. is a third-generation family-owned precision engineering company headquartered in Wateringen, Netherlands, founded in 1950 and operating from a self-developed facility at Maaslandseweg 3. The company specializes in high-precision CNC turning (Draaien) and milling (Frezen) of virtually all metals and plastics, executed on a modern machine park that includes LITZ 5-axis simultaneous CNC, OKK 3-axis, MORI SEIKI 4-axis, and FANUC ROBODRILL centers, supplemented by multi-spindle turning systems. Services are delivered as an integrated 'project from A to Z' offering that bundles engineering consultation, material advisory, in-process quality measurement with documentation, finishing treatments (grinding, spark erosion, tumbling, hardening, anodizing, chrome plating), and in-house transport delivery, with a single dedicated contact person assigned per project. Recent 2024-2025 capex added a new 5-axis machining center with automation, alongside continued investment in software for business process digitalization.

The company's customer base spans aerospace (CGG Technologies BV, whose small rocket engine components have flown in space), medical devices (titanium components), defense, food processing (RVS 316 / food-safe plastics), offshore (Hastelloy and high-grade stainless steels), construction, and security hardware (Agentor N.V. intruder-resistant lock fittings). Revenue is generated exclusively through custom quote-based project work with no publicly listed pricing; billing cadence is multi-year contract per project. Distribution is direct B2B with no intermediaries, leveraging Centri's own transport fleet to deliver undamaged products on tight deadlines, including same-day emergency turnaround referenced by manufacturing customer Gebr. Verschoor. Marketing is minimal, relying on industry association membership (Koninklijke Metaalunie), recognized training company status (SBB), and 75+ years of word-of-mouth reputation. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors.
