Sustainability as a foundation, strong in practice

In projects, solidity, efficiency and future-proofing are the basis. Zwaagstra Beton from Hoogeveen shows that sustainability and strong quality go hand in hand. With KOMO- and CSC-certified products, a keen eye for circularity and smart digital tools, this family business offers concrete solutions that literally support the infrastructure.

Thinking in solutions and executing practically

Sustainability at Zwaagstra goes further than just the use of materials. The products, from concrete slabs and foundation piles to retaining walls and drainage channels, are low-maintenance, robust and produced with practicality in mind. "Our strength lies in customization and thinking along from the very first moment," says Richard Zwaagstra, co-owner of Zwaagstra Beton. At Zwaagstra, innovation comes directly from practice. "We listen to executives, contractors and designers. Their experiences form the basis for new solutions."

Innovation with its feet on the ground

Zwaagstra makes concrete products with recycled raw materials, such as ECO granulate and ECO sand. "They are beautiful, high-quality products and they are always available. Moreover, by reusing raw materials, there is no need to extract new sand and gravel. An ultimate example of the circular economy, where we are doing our part for a more sustainable world. Thanks to the use of these recycled materials, we maintain a competitive price." Through its extensive quality process and proper certification, Zwaagstra Concrete ensures that all products are of the highest possible quality. "This way we are proud of what we deliver and the customer can be proud of what was purchased from us."

Concrete slabs with different top layers and options

The popular brushed variant offers extra grip in wet conditions, ideal for slopes, bike paths and areas with heavy (freight) traffic. Thanks to a wide range of sizes and textures, the slabs are both functional and aesthetically pleasing to any application. "We ensure that our products not only last a long time, but also match the look and feel of a project. For example, we recently supplied colored concrete slabs for a parking lot on Texel."

Fast delivery, complete turnaround

With its own factory, own transportation and placement service, Zwaagstra guarantees fast deliveries and reliable schedules. From small orders to large-scale projects. "You ask for a quote, you usually get the quote the same day, you give approval and the next day or week we can deliver already."

Digital cutlery configurator: simplicity for professionals

For designers and specifiers, Zwaagstra offers additional convenience with a digital specification configurator. In just a few clicks, you put together products complete with specification text, quantities and choices. "That saves an enormous amount of time," Zwaagstra states. "Previously, we had to have discussions with the client each time in order to still get our products into the specifications. Now engineering and consulting firms, municipalities and contractors can get straight to work."
