Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• MKB-Nederland: The largest Dutch SME umbrella organization, with which VEBIDAK is formally affiliated. Operates at a broader industry-agnostic level but shares VEBIDAK's member representation and policy advocacy function for Dutch SMBs.
• Bouwend Nederland: The Dutch employers' association and trade body for the broader construction and infrastructure sector. Much larger and broader in scope than VEBIDAK, but operating in the same Dutch construction-industry representation and policy-influence space.
• Techniek Nederland: The Dutch trade association for the installation technology sector (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing-related disciplines). Adjacent in scope to VEBIDAK, with overlapping labor agreement and training interests in the Dutch building envelope.

Emerging players

• BDA Dakadvies: Another Dutch roofing industry body and advisory player with which VEBIDAK maintains ties. Overlaps with VEBIDAK Dakadvies in technical advisory services but at a smaller, more specialized scale.
• DAKMERK: Dutch certification body for the roofing industry. VEBIDAK maintains a close partnership with DAKMERK, but DAKMERK operates a more narrowly defined quality-mark function rather than the full association-services role.

Direct peers

• National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA): The leading US trade association for roofing contractors, offering technical guidance, training, certification programs, and advocacy. Directly comparable in mission and member-service architecture to VEBIDAK.
• International Federation for the Roofing Trade (IFD): International umbrella body for national roofing trade associations. VEBIDAK engages internationally; IFD is the natural peer-and-counterpart at the global federation level for trade associations in the roofing industry.
• National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC): The UK trade association for the roofing industry, representing roofing contractors and providing technical standards, training, and consumer protection. Closest international analog to VEBIDAK in role, scope, and member-service mix.

Others

• TECTUM: The training institute for the bituminous and plastic roofing industry, whose board VEBIDAK appoints. Closely related as a sub-entity rather than a peer, but functionally relevant as a vocational-education provider in the same ecosystem.
• SBD (Stichting Bedrijfstakregelingen Dakbedekkingsbranche): The joint labor-industry institute for occupational health and safety in the Dutch roofing sector, co-governed by VEBIDAK and labor unions. A related rather than peer entity, but a key part of the same industry-ecosystem stack.
