MSO Group

What MSO Group does

MSO Group B.V. is a privately held Dutch holding company headquartered in Rotterdam (Industrieweg 120) that consolidates demolition, decommissioning, and site preparation services for industrial, civil, and — since the July 2025 acquisition of HSD — maritime/offshore clients. The group was formed in 2020 by merging three legacy Dutch firms: Meuva (1966, industrial disassembly for the petrochemical sector), Schotte (1930, industrial and civil demolition), and Oranje (1943, sustainable civil-sector decommissioning and urban redevelopment preparation). Together with HSD's Zeehaven Vlissingen quay facility, the group operates across the Netherlands with capabilities in demolition, disassembly, asbestos remediation (DAV/DTA-certified), soil remediation (SIKB-7000), infrastructure works, and circular material recovery through the MSO Circulair sub-brand, which resells reclaimed materials via Insert, Oogstkaart, and Marktplaats.

The company's differentiated technology is the patented HydroStripper — a high-pressure water system with rotating nozzles and integrated suction that removes hard PUF wall insulation from operational storage tanks, achieving approximately 30% volume reduction of insulation material while tanks remain in service. The group holds three HydroStripper patents, operates an extensive specialized fleet (hydraulic cranes from 25 tons, excavators, demolition rigs), and carries top-tier credentials including VCA Petrochemie, ISO 9001/14001/45001, SVMS-007, SIKB-7000, CO2 Prestatieladder Niveau 5, and Safety Culture Ladder Trede 4. Named customers include Tata Steel (IJmuiden), Dijkzigt Hospital (circular demolition), and Botlek-area petrochemical operators; maritime decommissioning clients are served post-HSD.

Commercially, MSO Group runs an enterprise field-sales motion with engineering-led, project-based engagements: a single point of contact manages each project from permit acquisition and authority liaison through drawings, calculations, planning, and execution. Revenue is professional-services project fees with multi-year contract cadence, no public pricing, and customized quotes based on scope and complexity. Distribution is direct to enterprise clients; secondary flow comes from MSO Circulair's marketplace resale of reclaimed materials to SMBs and consumers. Leadership comprises CEO Mels Jongeneel, COO Michiel Stapel, and CFO Paul van der Zande. The group is independent with no disclosed external investor ownership.
