JdB groep

What JdB groep does

JdB groep is a Dutch family-owned civil engineering and soil-logistics holding company headquartered in Hoofddorp, Netherlands, operating across the grond-, weg- en waterbouw (GWW) sector. It was founded on family roots dating to 1850 (the Den Breejen reclamation of the Haarlemmermeer polder) and has operated under the JdB name for over 80 years, currently employing roughly 150 people. The group is structured as JdB Groep BV with operating subsidiaries covering ground supply and processing (JdB Grond B.V.), earthworks and civil engineering (JdB GWW B.V.), equipment (JdB Materieel B.V.), and transport and trade (JdB Handel en Transport B.V.), plus a social-enterprise subsidiary (JoB) launched in 2015.

Its core services span the full lifecycle of ground and infrastructure projects: supply and removal of sand and soil, advisory and design (Bureau Bodem), soil and ground remediation, construction-site preparation, dike reinforcement, large-scale earthmoving, nature and recreation area development, and settlement-reducing ground preparation using techniques such as the IFCO method. A separate product line, Bodemproducten, covers plant and tree substrates, soil improvers, safety surfaces, clay, sand, paving materials, and waste-stream acceptance, distributed through an owned depot network in Nieuwveen, Soest, Kudelstaart, and Hoofddorp. The company is supported by an online waste-stream application portal (asn.jdbgroep.nl).

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based contracts for government water boards and municipalities (Waternet, Waterschap Amstel Gooi en Vecht, PWN, Staatsbosbeheer, Gemeente Amsterdam, Almere, Zaanstad) and via tendered and direct enterprise work for construction companies and developers (Van Wijnen, VORM, Ontwikkelingscombinatie Kreekrijk, Braassemerland). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with additional volume-based sales of soil products and substrates to contractors, gardeners, municipalities, and private individuals. The company emphasizes circular ground management, where soil extracted from one site is reused as solution material at another, and holds the highest level of the CO2 Performance Ladder (niveau 5).
