“Gilde encourages us to seize opportunities and grow, giving us the space to be entrepreneurial. Thanks to this strategic partnership, we can operate at a scale that once seemed out of reach.”
Driving the Energy Transition
“At HSM Offshore Energy in Schiedam and Krimpen aan den IJssel, the energy transition is our daily focus. With nearly fifty years of experience, we have evolved from a family business into a market leader in turnkey EPCIC solutions (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning) for complex offshore energy projects.”
“Our success is rooted in Dutch craftsmanship and a dedicated team that has led the offshore wind sector for decades. Since 2002, we have played a pioneering role, delivering innovative solutions that contribute to the growth of sustainable energy projects across Europe. We don’t merely respond to the energy transition, we actively shape it. By investing in technical innovation, sustainability, and quality, we deliver projects that meet today’s demands and are prepared for tomorrow’s challenges.”
Full Focus on Renewables
“We concentrate on four key areas: offshore wind, CO₂ storage (CCS), hydrogen production, and gas. This diversified offering allows us to meet current energy needs while anticipating the increasing demand for sustainable energy. At the start of our partnership with Gilde, we set an ambitious goal: to transform our entire project portfolio into renewable energy projects by the end of 2024. We are proud to say that we have achieved this milestone.”
“As a leading player in offshore wind, we play a crucial role in the decarbonization of the North Sea and the Dutch energy transition. For energy companies such as TenneT and RWE, we deliver platforms that supply millions of households with green electricity. International projects like Thor and East Anglia further solidify our role in the energy transition and our reputation as a reliable partner.”
“What sets us apart is our complete control over every aspect of the process — from design to installation and commissioning. This approach ensures consistently high quality and results in projects that can withstand harsh offshore conditions for decades.”
“We were given the chance to set the course and think big.”
Scaling Up to Accelerate the Transition
“To meet the growing demand for sustainable energy, we have doubled our production capacity by opening a second location in Krimpen aan den IJssel. This expansion allows us to handle larger and more complex projects while improving efficiency. It underlines our ambition to grow further and seize opportunities in new markets.”
“With a strong focus on Europe and the Baltic Sea, and growing interest in markets such as the United States, we are expanding our international footprint. At the same time, we are investing in our people. Through a mentoring program, our experienced employees share their knowledge and expertise with new team members, strengthening the organization for the future.”
Sustainability as a Guiding Principle
“Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Each platform contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions and supports the energy transition. Innovations such as the use of green steel are actively being explored to further minimize environmental impact.”
“Every project is designed with a long lifespan in mind and undergoes rigorous testing to meet the highest standards. Through ongoing investments in sustainable and reliable solutions, we are helping to drive the energy transition and build a future-proof energy system.”
