What Matecs does

Matecs B.V. is a Dutch industrial metalworking specialist founded in 1972 and headquartered in Roosendaal, Netherlands. The company delivers custom machining, welding, casting, forging, assembly, and certified quality control services, alongside a portfolio of replacement and engineered components for dredging vessels, maritime equipment, mining and quarrying operations, crane builders, and petrochemical/offshore operators.

Its core technical capabilities are concentrated at the Roosendaal workshop, which is equipped for boring, milling, turning, drilling, welding, bench work, assembly, pressure testing, and quality control of heavy industrial components up to 25 tons. The product portfolio includes bearing blocks (shaft diameters 160-670 mm, optional cooling and lubrication), wear-protection sleeves (100-650 mm) with multi-layer ceramic/carbide coatings, castings up to 62 HRC, forged shafts up to 20 tons, replaceable polyurethane-insert nozzles, industrial rubber and polyurethane parts, and valves (shore valves 350-1100 mm at up to 30 bar, dredge valves, and regulating valves) with manual, electric, or hydraulic operation. FEM strength calculations and certified welding under ISO 3834-2 enable compliance with offshore and petrochemical requirements.

The business operates on a quote-based, project-priced model with no publicly listed pricing, targeting B2B enterprise customers via direct sales engagement. Revenue is generated from three interconnected streams: one-off custom machining and construction projects, service and repair (including on-location service), and ongoing spare-parts supply (dredge parts, sleeves, valves). Specialized forging and casting capacity is supplemented by a network of European suppliers, while in-house machining, welding, assembly, and final inspection remain under Matecs' direct quality control. The company holds ISO 9001 (since 2012, recertified 2017) and ISO 3834-2 welding certifications, both approved without findings by TÜV Nederland.
