To ensure the continuity of the company, the current management is handing over the reins to a new, considerably younger managing director. The partners who have been active within Hupkes Wijma to date will remain associated with the company in an advisory role.
Jeroen Troost has many years of experience in management positions at leading companies in the construction sector, including the Royal BAM Group. He has also gained extensive knowledge at international manufacturers of technically advanced and complex construction products, such as Schöck and Holland Composites. His specialist knowledge of complex materials and products is an added value to the company.
“We are delighted to welcome Jeroen Troost,” says Stefan Meinhardt, CEO of Hupkes Wijma. “With his strategic vision and proven leadership, we are confident that he will play an important role in the further development of our company.”
“I am confident in taking on the responsibility of guiding our organization and promoting a culture of collaboration and innovation. I am enthusiastic about the challenges that lie ahead and am convinced that, with our experienced team, we can make a difference,” said Troost.

Our tradition of craftsmanship is continued through our commitment to environmentally friendly working methods.
