What ELECTRO GOORTS NV does

Electro Goorts NV is a privately owned, family-controlled Belgian electrical contracting firm headquartered in Halen, Flanders, operating since the 1940s and formally incorporated as a naamloze vennootschap (NV) in 1976. The company specializes in the design, engineering, installation, and maintenance of high and medium voltage electrical installations up to 36kV, with transformer capacities ranging from 100kVA to 3150kVA. Its service portfolio spans seven integrated lines: custom high/medium voltage installations (including prefabricated cabins), panel building (Bordenbouw), cable works (Kabelwerken) for voltages between 6kV and 20kV, power factor correction capacitors, full-lifecycle engineering, 24/7 service and maintenance, and customized customer training. The company holds VCA* safety certification and Erkend Aannemers recognition across multiple Belgian contractor classes.

Electro Goorts generates revenue through project-based contracts with direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by recurring maintenance services and rental of temporary construction site cabins. Customers include large industrial enterprises (Agfa Gevaert, DSM, Esso, Volvo Trucks, Tiense Suiker, Farm Frites, Puratos), government and public utilities (De Watergroep, De Voorzorg Hasselt), educational institutions, wind energy operators (Aspiravi, Wind4Flanders), and SMEs across Belgium, with all projects located within Flanders and broader Belgium. The go-to-market relies on direct engagement of an engineering team from quote to commissioning, ABB equipment integration for critical switchgear and protection components, and 45+ years of accumulated specialist know-how as the primary differentiator. The firm employs approximately 20 people and has been under the co-ownership of Frank De Coster and Kristel De Coster since 2008, representing the third generation of family leadership.

Regional players

• Elia: Belgian transmission system operator managing the high-voltage grid; a potential large customer/partner for HV substation work and a benchmark for the Belgian HV regulatory and operational environment in which Electro Goorts operates.
• Van den Pol Elektrotechniek: Dutch specialty contractor with HV installations, panel building, and industrial electrical services; comparable niche HV/electrical contractor operating in the Netherlands rather than Belgium.
• Homij: Dutch MEP specialist serving industrial and commercial clients with electrical installations and HV work; comparable niche specialty contractor model in a neighboring Benelux market without directly competing in Belgium.

Direct peers

• VMA: Belgian MEP/electrical contractor offering industrial and commercial electrical installations including panel building and high-voltage work; comparable mid-sized Belgian peer serving overlapping industrial customers with similar turnkey delivery.
• Nelectra: Belgian specialist in medium- and high-voltage electrical installations for industrial and utility clients, with a similar project-based EPC model and comparable HV/MS scope; directly competes for the same Flemish industrial and renewable-connection contracts as Electro Goorts.

Broad incumbents

• SPIE Belgium: Multi-technical services group with significant Belgian electrical contracting operations including HV installations, maintenance, and energy infrastructure; a much larger broad incumbent serving similar customers (utilities, industry, public sector) with wider service portfolio.
• Equans Belgium: Belgian technical services and infrastructure player (formerly Engie Fabricom) with HV/MS electrical, substation, and industrial contracting capabilities; broad incumbent with the resources to take on larger projects than Electro Goorts.
• Schneider Electric: Global electrical equipment and solutions manufacturer with a Belgian presence in switchgear, transformers, and industrial electrical systems; competes indirectly through equipment choices and broader service offerings overlapping Electro Goorts' scope.
• Cegelec Belgium (VINCI Energies): Large Belgian electrical contractor under VINCI Energies offering HV/MS installations, substations, and industrial electrical services across multiple sectors; operates broadly rather than in Electro Goorts' HV specialist niche but competes for the same large industrial projects.

Others

• ABB: Global supplier of switchgear, transformers, and protection relays (Safeplus, Unisec, Unigear, REF615) that Electro Goorts integrates into its installations; not a direct competitor but a strategic equipment partner whose product pipeline and Belgian project wins directly drive demand for Electro Goorts' services.
