GEBR. VAN DER HEIDEN

What GEBR. VAN DER HEIDEN does

Gebr. van der Heiden B.V. is a Dutch family-owned construction-materials and logistics company founded in 1946 by Manus van der Heiden and continuously operated under family ownership. From its headquarters at Eemweg 31A, Eemnes, and three additional operational sites in Almere, Nieuwegein, and Markelo, the company runs an integrated service platform spanning primary raw-material supply (multiple sand grades, gravel, soil), secondary building materials produced via its own concrete-recycling and soil-screening operations, bulk storage and transshipment with direct waterway access for barge shipping, sand extraction at the Domelaar site in partnership with Dyckerhoff Basal, and transport and truck-rental services supported by a fleet of more than 20 Scania tipper trucks, mobile crushing equipment, weighbridges, and barge-mounted cranes. Customers include construction companies, contractors, government and provincial infrastructure projects (e.g., the N237 Soesterberg tunnel project), waste-management firms, logistics companies requiring bulk transshipment, horticulture and estate clients (e.g., Kasteel Warmelo), and private individuals ordering via the company's online storefront with bulk or Big-bag delivery.

The business is regulated and contract-graded through an unusually dense stack of certifications: NEN-EN-ISO 9001:2015, VCA* 2017/6.0, SKG-IKOB notified-body certifications for Menggranulaat, Betongranulaat and Recyclinggranulaat (0/31.5, renewed through 2030), BRL2506 waste acceptance, BRL9321 sand mining, and Declaration of Performance documentation. Commercial mechanics combine B2B project quoting (for larger construction, infrastructure, and recycling jobs) with a transparent per-cubic-meter online retail channel for small builders and consumers (e.g., Vulzand from €145.20/m³, Grind 8-16mm from €217.80/m³), pickup at Eemnes and Almere, and bespoke consultation. Distribution runs through the own truck fleet, direct waterway/barge shipping at three sites, and partnership-driven fleet procurement with Veldhuizen Trucks/Wagenbouw.
