Van Merksteijn International B.V.
Wire mesh
Van Merksteijn International is a global leader in the production of reinforcement products and fencing panels. With over 75 years of experience, this family-owned business has established itself as a premier authority in the steel wire industry, operating production plants and storage facilities throughout Europe.
The company specializes in three main product categories: reinforcement products (including welded fabric, bars, lattice girders, spacers, special mesh, and coils), fencing panels (including Mistral panels, 3D panels, and double wire panels), and galvanized wire on coil. Their state-of-the-art machinery enables the manufacture of both standard and custom-made reinforcement mesh, with additional services including cutting, bending, and rolling.
Van Merksteijn's strategic network of facilities is ideally positioned for multimodal transport via road, railway, and water, enabling efficient just-in-time deliveries to clients across Europe. The company maintains rigorous quality control standards and holds numerous international certifications, demonstrating their commitment to excellence.
Sustainability is a core focus of Van Merksteijn's operations. The company runs entirely on green electricity at their Almelo and Dendermonde facilities and is actively working to reduce transport emissions through electric internal transport and encouraging cleaner engine use among their transporters.
In 2025, Van Merksteijn Group plans to merge with Südwest Beteiligungen to form 'Reinforcing Steel Europe B.V.', headquartered in Almelo, Netherlands. This strategic merger aims to strengthen their position as a major producer and processor of reinforcing steel in the EU while ensuring sustainable production and improved capacity utilization.
