What Kestens Montage nv does

Kestens Montage nv is a family-owned Belgian industrial metal construction and assembly contractor headquartered in Tienen (Flanders), founded in 1985 by brothers Alex and Omer Kestens and now operated across two generations of the founding family. The company designs, fabricates, and installs custom metalwork in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum — including structural steel, stairs and platforms, silos, piping and ducting, internal transport systems, machine builds, roof and wall cladding, and steel doors and windows — and provides industrial assembly, relocation, and maintenance services. It maintains an in-house engineering bureau, a CNC turning and milling workshop, a laser cutting hall, a large production hall with warehouse, a stocked spare-parts inventory, and a fleet of equipped service vehicles, enabling end-to-end turnkey execution from measurement and design through to on-site assembly with phased scheduling to minimize customer production downtime.

The business is operated as a private Belgian public limited company (NV), family-held with no external investors or parent company, holding VCA** safety certification, EN1090 European certification, and Class 4 recognition as a Belgian Federal Public Service Economy contractor (allowing metal construction and load-bearing structure projects up to EUR 900,000). Revenue is generated on a project-quotation basis via direct B2B sales to industrial customers in Belgium (Flanders), with named clients including Vynova and Indachlor in the chemical-industrial vertical; a multi-language website (Dutch/French/English) and a project portfolio organized by category support lead generation. In 2019 the company initiated a capacity expansion — a new industrial hall with commissioning planned for 2020 and the addition of a boring-saw line — consistent with a stable, multi-decade regional industrial contractor positioning itself to take on larger and more complex industrial assembly and metalwork contracts.
