TULLP

What TULLP does

TULLP B.V. is a privately held Dutch manufacturer of alternative replacement spare parts for separation and filtration equipment, founded in 2005 and rebranded under its current name in 2017. The company is headquartered in Raamsdonksveer, within 30 minutes of Rotterdam — Europe's largest seaport — and serves maritime customers globally, with the company stating that more than 4,000 vessels rely on its spare parts. Its core technology is an in-house reverse-engineering program that documents material, dimensions, and tolerances of OEM components using precision measurement equipment, enabling fully interchangeable parts production without OEM affiliation. Products span spare parts for Alfa Laval and GEA Westfalia separators and purifiers, fresh water generators, plate heat exchangers, IMO triple screw low-pressure pumps, Moatti back-flushing filters, and pre-programmed reconditioned control units.

The company monetizes through three primary streams: one-time sales of new spare parts (quote-based, no public pricing); the TULLPassist service programme (year-round 24/7 worldwide technical consultancy, on-site servicing, and repair delivered by mechanical and electrical engineers); and an exchange/return program covering control units, circuit boards, bowls, and complete separators, including the Second Life sub-brand of reconditioned used parts sold at reduced prices with the same warranty as new parts. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales to ship owners, ship management companies, and fleet operators, supplemented by an event-driven channel strategy (Europort Rotterdam, SMM Hamburg, MTB Marine Europe, Nor-Shipping, INMEX SMM India) and an active LinkedIn/news presence. Quality assurance is anchored by ISO 9001 (since 2017), IMPA (2022), and Emisa certifications, plus an Asbestos Free Declaration. The company operates with a small, specialized team across Sales, Service, and Finance functions and is led by General Manager Robert van Ballegooijen.

Broad incumbents

• Wärtsilä: Finnish broad-line marine equipment and services provider offering engines, propulsion, and environmental solutions including separators and filters. Competes for the same maritime aftermarket wallet with broader portfolio and global service network.
• IHI Corporation: Japanese industrial manufacturer with marine and process separation equipment offerings. Overlaps with TULLP in marine separator and rotating equipment categories.
• GEA Westfalia Separator: German OEM of centrifugal separators for marine and industrial applications. TULLP reverse-engineers and supplies replacement spare parts for GEA Westfalia's OSA, OSB, OSC, OSD, OSE, and OSF series, positioning GEA as a directly targeted incumbent.
• Alfa Laval: Swedish OEM and global leader in marine separation, filtration, and heat transfer equipment.
