What Korevaar BV does

Korevaar BV is a Dutch privately-held environmental services company founded in 1992 in Langerak, South Holland, by Wim Korevaar as a sole proprietorship (Loonbedrijf Wim Korevaar). The company specializes in four core service lines: asbestos removal (asbestsanering), soil remediation (bodemsanering), demolition (sloopwerkzaamheden), and ground and street works (grond & straatwerk). It also rents specialized equipment and operates waste collection and recycling operations. Services are delivered under five certifications — Procescertificaat Asbestverwijdering (risk classes 1, 2 & 2a), BRL SKIB 7000, ISO 9001, SVMS-007, and VCA* — and executed with an owned equipment fleet that includes mobile cranes with multiple attachments, aerial work platforms up to 18 meters, and self-contained mobile decontamination units.

The company operates as the parent of the Korevaar Group, a family-controlled structure comprising eight wholly-owned subsidiaries that collectively span the demolition-to-recycling value chain: Korevaar Asbestsaneringen B.V. (certified asbestos removal), Loonbedrijf Korevaar B.V. (contracting), Korevaar Aannemerij (construction/demolition), Recycling Centrale Korevaar (waste collection), KoreNet (centralized sorting/processing hub in Groot-Ammers), Netwerk NV (business waste collection, cleaning, pest control — acquired 2013), Bestrijdingongedierte.nl (pest management), and 2e Kans Bouwmaterialen (second-life building materials, launched 2021). Korevaar reports converting 95% of demolition waste into reusable raw materials, reflecting its circular-economy positioning.

Korevaar generates revenue primarily through project-based, quote-priced professional services contracts with Dutch municipalities (e.g., Gemeente Molenlanden), construction and industrial firms, and private homeowners across the Alblasserwaard, Molenwaard, Vijfheerenlanden, and Drechtsteden regions. Go-to-market is regional and direct, conducted through enterprise field sales, a 24/7 phone line, and website-based inquiry forms. Equipment rental (usage-based) and waste collection/recycling (transaction fee) provide additional revenue streams. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is customized per project scope. The firm has 11-50 employees and remains privately held under family ownership with no external institutional investment identified.
