EBT

What EBT does

EBT B.V. is a Dutch industrial engineering firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Alblasserdam, Netherlands. The company builds interfaces between human operators and technical installations, organized into four business lines: (1) Maritime/Yacht Panels — custom integrated bridge, wheelhouse, and helm station panels in foil and glass variants featuring the proprietary Syntrix operating concept with RGB LED dimming and single-button multi-system control; (2) Building Automation — Safety & Security system integration using the WinGuard platform, unifying fire alarm, evacuation, and security systems into a single managed interface; (3) Electronics Concepts — custom mechatronics, PCB design (Altium), in-house SMD Pick-and-Place and Reflow assembly, and embedded software development; and (4) a self-serve EBT Webshop selling standard control and signalling components (EAO, Schlegel, Qbus, Dok-Tek, Royer) directly to professional buyers via an ERP-integrated storefront. Production runs entirely in-house through a consultation-to-FAT process, with 3D printing partners enabling bridge-console customization in wood, composite, and steel.

The firm serves enterprise customers in the yacht-building sector — including Oceanco and Damen — as well as building managers and electronics resellers/integrators across the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, and Belgium. Revenue is generated through project-based hardware sales for custom panels and building automation, professional services for custom electronics development, and unit-priced e-commerce sales through the webshop. Distribution combines direct sales (phone, email), an ERP-linked webshop, and government-organized international trade missions (RVO) for offshore market expansion. EBT operates as a privately held, bootstrapped Dutch B.V. with an IMPACTO / The Growing Group affiliation, with no external funding rounds disclosed.
