Airvek & Verhaar Gebeko Join Nordic Climate Group Netherlands

07 Jan 2025

Airvek and Verhaar Gebeko are two companies with the same ownership and
management, operating as a single unit. Airvek, founded in 1979, is jointly led with
Verhaar Gebeko by Andries van der Gaag, who joined in 1994. The companies are
well-established in the Netherlands. Airvek focuses primarily on cooling, air
conditioning, and air handling projects, from design to installation, for commercial
clients. Verhaar Gebeko specializes in cooling solutions for healthcare facilities and
marine customers. Together, the companies have 16 employees and generate
€4.7 million in revenue.

“It is highly satisfying to enhance our Dutch operations with Airvek and Verhaar
Gebeko. Their engineering expertise in indoor climate and the maritime sector is
significant in further broadening the group's overall offering. Plans for additional
acquisitions remain on track for 2025,” says Joseph Kuling, Chairman of Nordic
Climate Group Netherlands B.V.

Together, Airvek and Verhaar Gebeko provide an attractive mix of services, ranging
from design and installation to service and maintenance. This has given the
companies a strong local market position and long-standing customer relationships.

“I have worked on developing air conditioning and air handling systems at Airvek
since 1994. Our focus is on design, installation, and maintenance—helping the
customer with the complete solution. Our development journey now takes the next
step as we integrate both Airvek and Verhaar Gebeko into Nordic Climate Group. It’s
a natural and inspiring move that brings new opportunities for our business and
employees,” says Andries van der Gaag, CEO of Airvek and Verhaar Gebeko.

Andries van der Gaag will continue in his leadership roles with the same customer
focus and goals. The added value is that Airvek and Verhaar Gebeko can now
collaborate with colleagues within Nordic Climate Group, both in the Netherlands and
in other countries with sister companies.

Nordic Climate Group's mission is to help its customers minimize their climate
footprint and maximize energy efficiency. The plan is to continue building a leading
company in Northern Europe with strong growth, both organically and through further
acquisitions. The business model is based on entrepreneurial strength, decentralized
operational units, and collaboration in business/procurement, staff training, and
sharing of technical expertise.
