Core offering

Staalmeesters is a Dutch metalworking company that provides custom metal fabrication services through three business units: bending techniques (section rolling, plate rolling, HD plasma cutting, press braking, aluminium bending), special constructions (welding constructions, offshore structures, semi-finished products, artworks), and machine building. The company processes steel, stainless steel, and aluminium into custom profiles, plates, and finished components for industrial, construction, offshore, and machine-building customers, with operations delivered from a 7,700 m2 facility in Wanssum, Netherlands.

Product overview

Staalmeesters is a metalworking company offering a unified portfolio of bending, cutting, and fabrication services rather than a software platform. The core offering consists of five bending technique services (Section Rolling, Plate Rolling, HD Plasma Cutting, Press Braking and Pressing, and Aluminium Bending) that process various metals into custom shapes. These are complemented by five special construction services (Welding Constructions, Semi-finished Products, Artworks, Offshore Constructions, and Machine Building/Engineering) that combine multiple techniques to produce finished metal structures and components. The company operates CNC-controlled machinery and employs certified welders (EN-287) to serve diverse industries including construction, offshore/wind energy, machine building, and transport.

Products and services

• Section Rolling (Profielwalsen) CNC section rolling service that bends profiles in steel, stainless steel, and aluminium up to a maximum modulus of Wx 570 cm3, including trade profiles, pipes, tubes, and special extrusions, suitable for multiple radii, elliptical shapes, and thin-walled tubes.
• Plate Rolling (Plaatwalsen) Plate rolling service using three machines capable of cylindrical, conical, and 3D rolling up to 3300 mm width and 25 mm thickness, processing steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and special steels such as Hardox and manganese steel.
• HD Plasma Cutting (Snijden)
• Press Braking and Pressing (Zetten en Persen) Press braking and pressing service using press brakes and a pressing machine to process reducers, cones, plates, scale components, and complex shapes in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and wear-resistant materials; press brake 2 reaches 950 tons with 8000 mm length.
• Aluminium Bending (Alu-Buigen) Specialized aluminium bending service using section rolls, a pressing machine, and a ring maker, with extrusion profiles developed in consultation with customers considering dimension, weight, resistance, bending radius, deformation, and strength.
• Welding Constructions (Laskonstrukties) Welding construction service building heavy sheet metal structures in steel, stainless steel, and aluminium using MIG/MAG, TIG, and electric welding, with welders certified according to EN-287 (ISO 9606) for Germanischer Lloyd, Bureau Veritas, Lloyds, and ABS, supervised by a welding coordinator per EN 3834-2.
• Semi-finished Products (Halffabrikaten) Manufacture of semi-finished metal components and parts for various industrial applications including offshore and wind energy sectors.
• Artworks (Kunstwerken) Custom metal artworks and artistic constructions, including architectural metalwork for special structures, combining multiple fabrication techniques.
• Offshore Constructions Specialized offshore and wind energy constructions including blast tubes (straalbuizen), silo components, bunkers, crane foundations, and steel structures for offshore platforms, produced with EN-287 certified welders.
• Machine Building / Engineering (Machinebouw) Custom engineering and machine manufacturing for the recycling, plastics, offshore, shipping, and feed industries, producing spiral mixers, silos, bunkers, screw conveyors, dumping pits, wrap molds, and separating equipment.

Quantifiable outcome

• CNC section rolling up to Wx 570 cm3, plate rolling up to 3000x25mm, press braking up to 950 tons, HD plasma cutting 9500x3000mm

Direct peers

• Huisman Equipment: Schiedam-based heavy fabrication company supplying cranes, offshore equipment, and marine structures. Comparable in heavy plate welding, certified offshore work, and complex multi-technique fabrication projects.
• WILA Nederland: Netherlands-based contract metal processor offering laser cutting, bending, and welding. Direct peer in custom sheet-metal and plate processing for industrial customers.
• Voortman Steel Group: Dutch manufacturer of steel processing and plate-cutting machinery and fabrication services. Overlaps with Staalmeesters on CNC-controlled plate cutting, structural steel, and industrial fabrication.
• Heerema Fabrication Group: Dutch heavy steel fabrication company producing offshore and structural steelwork. Closely comparable to Staalmeesters in offshore structural welding, plate rolling, and certified marine fabrication, though operating at significantly larger scale.
• ASK Romein: Netherlands/Belgium-based structural steelwork contractor. Comparable in custom structural steel fabrication, welding accreditations, and large construction/marine project delivery in the Benelux region.
• Holvrieka (Denka International): Dutch manufacturer of stainless-steel tanks, silos, and process vessels. Directly comparable to Staalmeesters' silo and bunker product line and stainless/aluminium plate rolling capabilities.
• Sif Group: Netherlands-based manufacturer of large offshore wind foundations (monopiles and jackets). Highly relevant peer given Staalmeesters' offshore construction work, welding certifications, and harbour logistics — though Sif is much larger and listed.

Broad incumbents

• Royal IHC: Major Dutch marine equipment and shipbuilding group. Serves the same offshore/maritime customer base and uses similar heavy plate and welding standards as Staalmeesters, but at substantially larger scale and as a broad systems integrator.
• VDL Steelworks (VDL Groep): Dutch industrial group with substantial metal processing, bending, and fabrication operations. Comparable in plate/section processing and heavy industrial customers, but serves a much broader portfolio.

Regional players

• Geurts-Janssen: Dutch regional metalworking and construction firm. Listed as a Staalmeesters partner and operates in the same Benelux regional fabrication market with overlapping bending/welding capabilities.
