Maessen Bedrijven

What Maessen Bedrijven does

Maessen Bedrijven is a privately held Dutch family-owned construction and infrastructure group headquartered at Metaalweg 5, 5804 CG Venray, in the province of Limburg, Netherlands. Founded on 6 January 1976 by Harry Maessen, the company celebrated its 50th anniversary in January 2026 and operates as an integrated total-solutions provider across five core service lines: Grondverzet (earthworks and excavation), Sloopwerken (demolition, including asbestos remediation and contaminated soil handling), Transport of bulk and raw materials, Recycling of concrete rubble and asphalt into secondary aggregates via a modern breekinstallatie (crushing installation), and Projectontwikkeling (full-cycle industrial and logistics real-estate development including land acquisition, terrain preparation, infrastructure, and nature compensation). The company also operates sand extraction at the 't Alvertje site near Oirlo and sells packaged sand and gravel products to both businesses and private customers.

Operations are delivered through two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Maessen Grondverzet & Recycling BV (earthworks and recycling) and Maessen Transport & Verhuur BV (transport) — and span a portfolio of self-developed industrial and logistics real estate under the Bedrijfspanden offering, where Maessen acts as an active landlord with direct tenant management. The customer base is horizontal, serving enterprise construction and logistics firms (notably Arvato Netherlands BV / Bertelsmann Group, for whom the 175,000 m2 De Brem logistics centre in Heijen was developed), Dutch municipalities (Gemeente Venray for the De Blakt 75-hectare and De Hulst II 25-hectare developments in Oostrum; Gemeente Gennep for the 30-hectare De Brem terrain), and a long tail of private customers purchasing sand and gravel for personal construction and landscaping.

Revenue mechanics are project-based and quote-driven — no standard price list is publicly disclosed — combining professional services fees (earthworks, demolition, transport, recycling), one-off project development margins, recurring rental income from the commercial property portfolio, and hardware-equivalent sales of sand and gravel. The company holds VCA safety certification and BRL2506/KOMO and BRL9321 product certifications for its sand and gravel operations, which are prerequisites for Dutch public-sector tenders. Geographic reach is regional, concentrated across Venray, Wanssum, Heijen, Oostrum, Oirlo, and Horst in Limburg; no international operations or nationwide footprint is evident in the data.
