What Hees Installaties does

Hees Installaties BV is a privately held, family-owned Dutch installation company founded in 1911 in Echt, Netherlands, by Chritién Hees as a pump maker and coppersmith. Over 113 years the firm has evolved into an all-round installation provider delivering combined electrotechnical (E) and mechanical/building technology (WTB) installations for new construction, renovation, and maintenance projects across the Limburg region. Its current workforce numbers approximately 20 skilled professionals operating from a single headquarters at Edisonweg 40 in Echt, serving clients typically located within a 30-minute radius.

The company's core offering spans electrical installations (cabling, meter boxes, fire and intrusion alarm systems, data networks), mechanical systems (CV, underfloor heating, ventilation, heat pumps, climate control), renewable energy (solar/PV, gas-free VRF HVAC), plumbing and sanitation, and lighting solutions delivered via a sister brand, Hees Lights & Living. Notable technical capabilities include LG VRF Multi V gas-free HVAC systems deployed at Volvo Rutten, heat recovery installations with decentralized Clim rad units for healthcare (Zuyderland), and full electrical revitalizations for commercial properties (Servatius). Hees maintains a portfolio of industry certifications including Techniek Nederland membership, STEK, CO-Keur, BRL100, BRL6000, InstallQ, and IWZO, qualifying it for specialized work in refrigeration, CO systems, and quality-controlled installation.

Commercially, Hees operates a sales-led, project-based model with quote-based pricing, targeting five primary customer segments: construction contractors (aannemers), architects, MKB businesses, real estate managers, and healthcare institutions. Revenue is generated through two streams: project installation work and recurring service and maintenance contracts. The company has secured long-duration anchor relationships—most notably a 35+ year partnership with Durlinger Schoenen covering 40+ retail stores—and serves notable clients including Gemeente Maastricht, Zuyderland, Servatius, Volvo Rutten, Michel Oprey & Beisterveld, and Stichting Onderwijs Midden-Limburg. Distribution is entirely direct with no intermediaries; the firm relies on its website and referral-based relationships rather than paid marketing channels.

• Van Dorp installaties: Dutch regional MEP/facility services installer with comparable headcount and project types, including HVAC, electrical and maintenance contracts for commercial and institutional clients.

• Unica: One of the largest Dutch technical service providers offering integrated building installations, energy solutions and facility management nationwide — broader portfolio but overlapping scope in Hees's core MEP disciplines.
