Nordic Climate Group expands Dutch operation

Two of the owners, Hans Fijlstra and Edwin Walstra, celebrate the sale

SWEDEN/NETHERLANDS: The Nordic Climate Group has further expanded its operations in the Netherlands with the purchase of a Dutch group consisting of six cooling specialists.

The companies – Cooling Systems Holland (CSH), Cooling Service Holland, Installatiebedrijf Bakker BV, MIB Installatietechniek, TCB, and 3BG Cooling – are being acquired from owners Edwin Walstra, Hans Fijlstra, and Sicco Rust.

This is the Nordic Climate Group’s third acquisition in the Netherlands after the company’s launch there in June 2024, when Compair Airconditioning BV and T&S Klimaattechniek BV joined its ranks. 

Nordic Climate Group now comprises more than 1,700 employees in over 100 locations throughout Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Finland. The Dutch section of the group has approximately 170 employees, with turnover amounting to €45m.

Operating in the cities of Oosterwolde and Assen in the country’s northeast, the newly acquired group has more than 120 years of experience in the cooling industry. 

The companies focus primarily on the B2B market, the public sector, and data centres in the Netherlands, but they also have a significant presence in the fruit and food industries, both in and outside the Netherlands. 

Their offering is based on innovative, tailored solutions in design, production, installation, and service of sustainable and energy-efficient cooling and freezing systems.

The previous owners will continue to operate the acquired companies in their current roles. Nordic Climate Group’s business model is based on a decentralised structure, which means that the group’s companies continue operation under their local brands.
