Verder International BV maintains its top position in the Manufacturing Industry100, the annual list of the best performing manufacturing companies in the Netherlands, compiled by CFI and MT. We already won this award in 2018, and yesterday Andries Verder received the award for 2019.
According to mt.com: 'The family group from Vleuten, led by CEO Andries Verder, produces high-tech laboratory equipment and a very wide range of pumps and mixers for industrial applications. The top 5 is completed by Moba (food & agri), MGG Groep (aluminum foundry), Christiaens Groep (food & agri) and Terberg Benschop (Automotive).
Verder International might not be very well known to the general public. Nevertheless, the completely independent family business has been playing in the Champions League of their own sector for years and serves customers from all over the world. In 2018, revenue amounted to more than 302 million euros, with revenue and profit growth over the last four years of 16 and 15 percent respectively. The company has 1,850 employees worldwide.'
Companies with a Dutch origin
The Maakindustrie100 is published every fall and consists of the 100 best-presenting SMEs in the Netherlands. The list is compiled by MT in collaboration with CFI (formerly MBCF Corporate Finance). "We look at manufacturing companies with a Dutch mother and a turnover of up to 500 million euros," says Kevin Driesen of CFI. "We want to pay attention to the hidden champions of the Dutch economy."
The criteria are revenue, revenue growth, EBITDA and return on invested capital. “This leads to four rankings, where each ranking amounts to a certain number of points. By adding up all those points, you get a total score. Just like 2018, Verder Group tops the list"says Driesen. Publicly available information is used in the composition of the list.
