Olijslager Groep

What Olijslager Groep does

Olijslager Groep is a privately held Dutch wholesale group headquartered in Hoogeveen, Netherlands, that distributes construction-industry products to professional tradespeople across Northern Netherlands. Founded in 1954 as a paint wholesaler, the group operates through five to six specialized wholly-owned subsidiary brands: Olijslager (paints and non-paint products for painters), Stucshop (finishing products for plasterers), Schriever (construction and industrial specialties with an in-house industrial color laboratory), Glaslinq (the largest independent glass wholesaler in Northern Netherlands, with in-house cutting, processing, and installation), and Probin/Toollinq (ironmongery and hardware for tradesmen). The group serves approximately 200 employees serving a long-tail B2B customer base of painters, plasterers, glaziers, and construction specialists through physical sales points in the provinces of Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, and Gelderland.

The business model is B2B wholesale distribution with quote-based pricing and one-time transactional revenue. Its core operational technology consists of a regional night distribution network that enables 24-hour delivery throughout Northern Netherlands and same-day delivery from local branches, complemented by value-added services such as custom color mixing (Schriever) and glass processing and installation (Glaslinq). The group is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity in the available data.

The customer base is horizontal across multiple construction trades, with no publicly named enterprise customers and no disclosed pricing transparency. Olijslager Groep functions as a regional specialist that bundles trade expertise, product assortment breadth, and rapid local delivery into a single supplier relationship for small and mid-sized construction professionals in Northern Netherlands.

Broad incumbents

• Grafton Group: Grafton Group is an Ireland/UK-listed distributor of building materials and DIY products operating multiple brands across Europe. It is a broad incumbent comparable in business model (multi-brand professional trade distribution) to Olijslager Groep, though at significantly larger scale.
• Stark Group: Stark Group is one of Europe's largest distributors of heavy building materials serving professional builders, with operations across multiple countries including the Netherlands. It is a broad incumbent comparable to Olijslager Groep as a construction materials wholesaler, but at significantly larger scale and geographic reach.
• Saint-Gobain Distribution: Saint-Gobain Distribution is the building products distribution arm of Saint-Gobain in the Netherlands and broader Europe, operating multiple wholesale brands. It is a broad incumbent offering overlapping capabilities (paint, plaster, glass, and building products) at a much larger scale than Olijslager Groep.
• Travis Perkins: Travis Perkins is a UK-listed leader in construction materials distribution to the professional trade. While UK-focused, its branch-based B2B model and trade customer focus make it a useful broad incumbent comparable for Olijslager Groep's wholesale model.

Direct peers

• Raab Karcher: Raab Karcher is a Netherlands- and Europe-based construction materials distributor (part of Stark Group / Saint-Gobain) serving professional builders and tradespeople. It is directly comparable to Olijslager Groep as a multi-category construction materials wholesaler serving the Dutch professional trade.
• Bouwmaat: Bouwmaat is a Netherlands-based B2B construction materials wholesaler serving professional builders and tradespeople from a multi-branch network. It is directly comparable to Olijslager Groep as a competing professional-trade construction materials distributor in the Dutch market.
• BMN (Bouwmaterialen Meijer Nederland): BMN is a Dutch B2B construction materials wholesaler serving professional builders with a broad assortment and branch network. It competes head-to-head with Olijslager Groep's multi-brand construction materials offering to tradespeople in the Netherlands.

Emerging players

• Intergamma (Gamma / Karwei): Intergamma operates the Gamma and Karwei DIY and home improvement chains in the Netherlands and Belgium. While primarily DIY-focused rather than professional-trade, it competes for adjacent customer demand (renovation products, paint, hardware) and is a relevant partial-overlap peer for Olijslager Groep's assortment.
• Toolstation: Toolstation is a multi-country trade-focused hardware and tool retailer operating in the Netherlands. It overlaps with Olijslager Groep's Probin/Toollinq ironmongery and hardware trade offering, serving a similar tradesperson customer base with a more standardized, lean inventory model.

Others

• Wienerberger (building products distribution): Wienerberger is a leading European supplier of building materials (bricks, roof systems, and related products). While not a direct trade-wholesale peer, it operates in adjacent upstream building materials distribution and is thematically relevant to Olijslager Groep's construction customer base.
