Kiwa KOAC

What Kiwa KOAC does

Kiwa Infra (formerly Kiwa KOAC, legal entity Kiwa Infra B.V.) is a Dutch B2B professional services firm providing research, testing, inspection, certification, consultancy, calibration, and training for mobility infrastructure assets spanning roads, airports, industrial sites, and dike coverings. Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Apeldoorn, the firm operates an RvA-accredited laboratory for material testing and runs advanced road pavement measurement programs, positioning itself as the only Dutch organization covering the full infrastructure value chain from advisory and research through laboratory testing, quality assurance, and knowledge transfer. Its independence from specific materials suppliers and construction solutions is a central element of its value proposition to government and private clients.

The company's revenue is generated through contract-based professional services engagements, primarily with public-sector infrastructure owners such as road managers, port authorities, airport operators, and dike protection authorities, with the Port of Rotterdam (Havenbedrijf Rotterdam N.V.) named as a multi-year anchor client. Service delivery is direct B2B, supported by thought-leadership channels including LinkedIn, an email newsletter, annual Customer Days and Technology Days, and conference presentations such as EuroGeo 8 in Lille (September 2025). As a subsidiary of the Kiwa Group TIC conglomerate, effective April 2, 2026 Kiwa transferred its Road Testing activities, including associated consultancy services, into a newly created wholly-owned entity called KOAC Road Testing & Consultancy B.V., sharpening the focus of that specialized service line.

The firm does not disclose revenue, headcount, or contract values, and operates exclusively within the Netherlands. A separately listed "Digital Solutions" service module indicates incremental buildout of data-driven infrastructure management offerings, but no AI/ML capabilities, proprietary models, or technology integrations are publicly identified in the available material.
