Asfaltproductie Westerbroek

What Asfaltproductie Westerbroek does

Asfaltproductie Westerbroek (APW) is a Northern Netherlands asphalt producer operating a single manufacturing facility in Westerbroek, Groningen province. Founded in 1996, the company produces over 100 types of asphalt — standard base, intermediate, and surface layer mixes, plus specialty variants including Lynpave low-temperature asphalt, sound-reducing asphalt, colored asphalt, acid-resistant asphalt for agricultural silo floors, and ZOAB (highly porous asphalt concrete). Every produced mixture is tested in APW's on-site laboratory against CE-document requirements under the company's KIWA certification. Production capacity reached 200,000 tons per year in both 2022 and 2023, exceeding an earlier 180,000-ton projection.

APW operates as a joint venture owned entirely by four regional construction contractors: Koninklijke Sjouke Dijkstra (Leek), Koninklijke Oosterhof Holman (Grijpskerk), KWS (Meppel), and Roelofs (Den Ham). These four shareholders are simultaneously APW's exclusive distribution channel — end customers (municipalities, provinces, private contractors) cannot purchase APW asphalt directly and must order through one of the four shareholders. The shareholder-customer model produces 100% channel concentration but aligns all off-takers with the producer's economics. APW has invested in sustainability infrastructure, including a covered raw-material storage structure (2020) topped with 5,000 m² of solar panels (2021), low-temperature Lynpave production, and reuse of reclaimed asphalt from regional projects such as the Julianaplein in Groningen. The company employs 11 people and serves the Groningen, Drenthe, and Friesland regions exclusively. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of produced asphalt to the four shareholders, with pricing to end customers set by the shareholders themselves and not publicly disclosed.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Standard Asphalt (base, binder, and surface layers) Asphalt produced for base, intermediate, and top layers of roads and terrain surfaces, customized to specifications for each stage of road construction. Used by APW's shareholder contractors for road, bike path, and terrain paving projects in Northern Netherlands.
• Colored Asphalt (Gekleurd Asfalt) Asphalt produced using colored stone aggregate or by adding dyes during production, commonly applied to bicycle paths and roads requiring distinct coloring for functional reasons.
• Lynpave Low-Temperature Asphalt Low-temperature asphalt produced by adding Lynpave to the mixture, reducing gas consumption and CO2 emissions during production. Used for sustainable road construction.
• Sound-Reducing Asphalt (Geluidsreducerend Asfalt) Noise-reducing asphalt produced with special fine mixtures for use on highways, provincial roads, and urban areas, producing less noise than standard surface layers.
• Acid-Resistant Asphalt (Zuurbestendig Asfalt) Specialized asphalt designed for agricultural silo floors where grass and corn are stored, resistant to acid corrosion from the stored materials. For farmers and agricultural operators.
• ZOAB (Zeer Open Asfaltbeton) Highly porous asphalt concrete with approximately 20% void content, containing relatively coarse aggregate and relatively few finer components, used as road surfacing.
• In-House Quality Control Laboratory (Eigen Laboratorium) Internal laboratory testing facility where asphalt mixtures are researched, quality is tested, and improvements to mixtures are developed. Every produced asphalt mixture is tested to meet CE-document requirements, supporting KIWA-certified production.
