Andus Group is a strong, internationally active holding company with independent subsidiaries in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Slovakia and Sweden. With a workforce of more than 650 employees, these subsidiaries realize a total turnover of approximately EUR 350 million. The Andus Group’s subsidiaries are divided across three divisions: Refractories, Steel Structures and Specialties. Within each division, the focus is on the end user in market segments that include: waste-to-energy, wind energy, petrochemicals, civil engineering, offshore oil & gas, the pharmaceutical industry and mechanical engineering. For many years now these subsidiaries have enabled Andus Group to create added value for its clients. This value is added in areas that include engineering, production and installation of high-quality refractory bricks and concrete, bridge-building, locks and complex, heavy steel structures, the manufacture of stainless steel and high-grade alloy process equipment, the design and production of platforms for the offshore industry and the manufacture of high-value industrial castings used in mechanical engineering and the dredging industry.
In 2021, Gilde was welcomed as shareholder as a next step in the succession of the founder and shareholder. Together with management, a next phase of growth was initiated with a focus on further investments in the expansion of services and international growth. Following a period of investment and global growth, the Refractories division (Gouda Refractories) became part of the Japan-listed Shinagawa Refractories, forming one of the world’s leading producers of specialty refractories. In addition, HSM Offshore Energy has increasingly focused on the renewable energy market, playing a leading role in offshore wind and carbon capture & storage. Following the opening of a second yard and a strong growth trajectory, HSM Offshore Energy joined the Belgian company Smulders, part of the French listed Eiffage Group, to support further growth and contribute to the energy transition.
