What Vissers | Sloop - Asbest - Bodem does

Vissers Sloopwerken BV (trading as Vissers | Sloop - Asbest - Bodem) is a Dutch specialist contractor providing demolition, asbestos and Chromium-6 removal, and soil remediation services. Founded in 1945 as a construction firm in Oosterhout, North Brabant, the company pivoted to demolition in 1975 and entered asbestos remediation in the 1990s as one of the first operators in the Netherlands. Following the death of its owner in 2000, Vissers was acquired by M. Heezen BV and today operates as part of Heezen Bedrijven, a private Dutch family-owned group of 10+ operating companies and approximately 300 employees. The company employs 60+ skilled workers and serves governments, housing corporations, construction firms, industrial businesses, and private clients under project-based contracts, with national coverage and primary operational focus on North Brabant, South Holland, and Utrecht provinces.

The company's core service offering spans total demolition, renovation and mutation demolition, concrete drilling and sawing, certified asbestos removal (risk classes 1, 2, and 2a), Chromium-6 remediation, and soil/groundwater decontamination. Work is delivered through a combination of direct contracting, public tenders, and 'bouwteamconstructie' (construction team arrangements), with pricing determined per project. Notable reference projects include the demolition of Utrecht Central Station, the rijksmonument Stationspostgebouw in Den Haag (for SENS real estate), and a 192-home renovation programme for WonenBreburg housing corporation in Breda. Vissers holds a dense stack of certifications — BRL SVMS-007, VCA**, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, CO2-Prestatieladder, Veiligheidsladder trede 3, and PSO trede 3 — many of which are prerequisites for public-sector and housing corporation tenders.

Vissers generates revenue through four principal streams: demolition services (project bids), asbestos/Chromium-6 removal (project contracts), soil remediation (project-based work), and circular material trading via an on-site sales yard in Oosterhout and platform sales through INSERT (a circular building materials marketplace co-founded by Vissers) and WeCycle (a lamps and fixtures recycling partner since 2020). Distribution is direct via specialist contact pages, tender participation, and construction team arrangements — no intermediaries, resellers, or marketplace listings are used. The company distinguishes itself through early-mover circular-economy practices, social return on investment (SROI) employment programmes, and a proprietary safety awareness programme.

Revenue model

1. Sloopwerken (Demolition services): Project-based demolition services including total demolition, renovation demolition, mutation maintenance, concrete drilling/sawing, and disassembly/mounting work. Revenue is earned through competitive project bids and direct contracting with construction firms, housing corporations, and governments.
2. Asbestsanering (Asbestos removal): Certified asbestos and Chromium-6 removal services for buildings, factories, and soil. Services include risk-classified removal (classes 1, 2, and 2a), performed by qualified DAV/ DTA personnel. Revenue generated through project-based contracts with housing corporations, private individuals, construction firms, and government bodies.
3. Bodemsanering (Soil remediation): Soil and groundwater remediation services for contaminated sites. The company manages the full remediation trajectory from assessment through to redevelopment readiness. Revenue is project-based, serving businesses and government organisations.
4. Circular material trading and sales: Reclaimed building materials are sold through a sales yard in Oosterhout and directly from demolition sites to local and regional market parties. Vissers co-founded INSERT, a circular building materials marketplace, and partners with WeCycle. This generates secondary transaction revenue from material resale.
