Creating a leading player with revenue exceeding €100 million

After several years of collaboration, Hendrik Veder Group (HVG) and Dutch Steel Fabricators (DSF) are taking their partnership to the next level through a merger. This consolidation creates a leading company with revenue exceeding €100 million, primarily active in the Offshore, Maritime, and Commercial Construction sectors. By combining expertise and innovation, the newly formed organization is positioned as a strong, future-proof company that provides comprehensive solutions in lifting and rigging, as well as a wide range of steel construction services.

This makes DSF the ideal partner for clients seeking reliable, sustainable, and cost-efficient steel constructions.

Impact of the merger on the market 

The merger creates a unique “one-stop-shop” for lifting and rigging solutions. Two companies within the DSF Group—Gouda Constructie and Breda Constructie—will collaborate with HVG to offer an expanded range of lifting and rigging solutions to clients in the Offshore and Maritime industries. Customers will benefit from a fully integrated package of innovative and sustainable solutions, covering everything from design to installation. The combination of HVG’s expertise in lifting solutions and sustainability with DSF’s advanced steel construction capabilities results in more efficient, safer, and more sustainable solutions.

The other companies within the DSF Group will continue their activities autonomously, with accelerated growth through targeted acquisitions as a key ambition.

With this strategic step, HVG and DSF strengthen their market position and take a significant step toward the future of lifting and rigging technology. Clients can rely on an innovative partner that prioritizes quality, sustainability, complete customer support, and efficiency.
