TBI Holdings is a Dutch conglomerate based in Rotterdam, overseeing a network of more than twenty independent companies active in engineering, construction, property development, and infrastructure. Founded in 1981, TBI has become one of the Netherlands’ largest groups in its sector, employing around 6,400 people and reporting a turnover of approximately €2.6 billion in 2023.
Unlike traditional publicly traded entities, TBI Holdings is owned by a single independent foundation, Stichting TBI, which allows a long-term orientation focused on the collective well-being of its companies, employees, and society. Profits are often reinvested to promote social initiatives, cultural heritage, and educational support for employees’ families.
TBI’s subsidiaries operate independently yet frequently collaborate on large-scale projects within the Dutch market. The group is involved in nearly all aspects of building and civil engineering, such as creating new residential neighborhoods, infrastructure upgrades, and complex technical installations. Notable recent projects include the new A16 ring road and Terbregseplein flyover around Rotterdam—undertakings designed to improve regional accessibility and sustainability.
A key strategic focus includes advancing the energy transition, expanding electrical grid capacity, and delivering affordable housing. Subsidiaries like Croonwolter&dros and Mobilis play critical roles in these efforts. Innovation and sustainability underpin TBI’s activities, with the group aiming to construct climate-neutral buildings by 2030 and showing a trend of decreasing carbon emissions. TBI Holdings’ structure enables a balance between financial performance and broader societal impact.
