What Pelecon Corporation does

Pelecon B.V. is a privately held Dutch structural engineering consultancy headquartered in Gouda with a second office in Amersfoort. Founded in 1998 by Wim van Leeuwen and Piet Peters and operating since 1976 in its partners' prior capacity, the firm specialises in calculating, drawing, checking, and advising on load-bearing and stability structures for distribution centres, offices, residential buildings, public facilities, and special constructions. The current leadership comprises CEO Mack Stolwijk and Partner Henk van Vliet; the firm merged with Reijneveld Engineering in 2021 and maintains wholly owned sub-brands Concrete Block Engineers and Greenhouse Design for niche verticals.

The firm's core technology stack centres on 3D BIM modelling and structural calculation software, with specialisations including FM Global-compliant load optimisation, vibration-free Fundex pile foundation design, and circular/sustainable construction methods such as demountable steel structures and BREEAM-certified designs. Notable outcomes include the National Steel Prize 2020 award for the NewLogic III (The Tube) project in Tilburg and a BREEAM Outstanding score of 99.48% on the same project.

Pelecon generates revenue through professional services fees for project-based structural engineering work, sourced via direct enterprise relationships with architects, property developers, and contractors from concept through construction supervision. The customer base spans major Dutch logistics developers (Heembouw, Borghese, P3, Dokvast), enterprise end-users (Bol.com, Albert Heijn, Lidl, VidaXL, HelloFresh, Inditex), healthcare and public-sector clients (Rode Kruis Ziekenhuis, Gemeente Amstelveen, Gemeente Papendrecht), and select international projects. Marketing is relationship-led, supported by a Dutch newsletter, LinkedIn, and trade-press visibility. No revenue, headcount totals, or pricing are publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Pelecon is a Dutch structural engineering consultancy that converts architectural designs into concrete, buildable, and safe load-bearing structures for buildings. Services span the full project lifecycle — from initial concept and feasibility, through structural calculation and 3D BIM technical drawings, to construction supervision and execution control. The firm delivers these services for distribution centres, offices, residential buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, industrial buildings, and special constructions across the Netherlands and selectively internationally.

Product overview

Pelecon is a structural engineering consultancy that offers a unified set of services rather than a modular software product. The core offering consists of structural engineering consulting—calculating, drawing, checking, and advising on load-bearing and stability structures for various building types. The company works on distribution centers, buildings, offices, shopping centers, homes, and schools, providing services from initial design through to construction supervision. The company was founded in 1998 by Wim van Leeuwen and Piet Peters, with the current leadership including Henk van Vliet and Mack Stolwijk. Additional brands under the umbrella include Concrete Block Engineers and Greenhouse Design for specialized fields.
