WMR Rinsumageest

What WMR Rinsumageest does

WMR Rinsumageest BV is a privately held, family-owned Dutch civil engineering and environmental services contractor founded in 1955 and headquartered in Rinsumageest, Friesland. The firm operates as a totaalaanbieder (total solutions provider) across four integrated business units: Infra (ground, road, and water construction), Sloop en Renovatie (demolition and renovation), Asbestsanering (asbestos removal, BRL 6000/7000 certified), and Bodemonderzoek en Milieu (soil investigation and environmental remediation), supported by a Grondbank soil-management operation and a sub-brand (WMR Onkruidbeheer) for chemical-free weed control. Its competitive positioning rests on being able to deliver multi-disciplinary project packages through a single contractor, including certified hazardous-materials handling, on-site concrete recycling, and emission-free electric-equipment execution as demonstrated on the Schiermonnikoog island infrastructure project.

The company generates revenue exclusively through project-based contracting — tendered public works, negotiated commercial engagements, and subcontracted specialist assignments — with all pricing provided on a quote basis per project (calculations via [email protected]). It serves a diversified customer base including construction contractors and developers (Bouwgroep Dijkstra Draisma, Friso Bouwgroep, Bouwbedrijf Lont, Geveke Bouw), provincial and municipal governments (Provincie Fryslân, Gemeente Dantumadiel, Leeuwarden, Tytsjerksteradiel, Waadhoeke), housing corporations, and industrial clients (Friesland Campina, Douwe Egberts, HZPC, Stedin, Tennet, Poiesz, Aldi Vastgoed). Operating geographies are concentrated in Friesland and northern Netherlands, with documented project extension into Groningen, Flevoland, and Overijssel. Headcount is stated at 11-50 employees, and recent capital investment includes a newly opened headquarters building (May 2024), signalling reinvestment rather than exit or contraction.
