Helden van Staal is a Dutch sheet-metal manufacturer based in Hoorn, with 50 years in metalworking and over 30 years in waste systems. From our own 7,000 m² facility (ISO 9001, ISO 14001) we design and produce circular collection systems under our FLATCYCLED™ standard: bolted, not welded — shipped flat-pack at minimum 4× pallet density, assembled locally, with a substantiated 50–70% lower CO₂ footprint than welded systems. Exactly what wins municipal tenders today.
The range: underground and semi-underground containers, above-ground containers, crane-emptied organic-waste units (2-hook, 3-hook, Kinshofer) and steel casings that turn standard 660–1100L plastic roll containers into permanent street furniture. Local assembly — including with social employment providers — scores additional tender points and makes it a locally made product. This is established practice in the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia; in France and Morocco it has become the “made in” argument.
Your tasks as our agent: represent the range exclusively in your territory; build and manage a pipeline with municipalities and waste collectors; lead public tenders; organise local assembly and after-sales through your own workshop or partner network; joint customer visits with our team from Hoorn.
What we expect: proven access to municipal procurement (references, not claims); a complementary, non-competing portfolio; assembly or service capability; the financial substance to fund 6–12 months of pipeline building; the ambition to sign a concrete year-one plan with seven-figure revenue.
What we offer: territorial exclusivity after a successful six-month pilot; margin on the sale plus recurring revenue from assembly, service and spare parts; demo units, tender documentation and training in Hoorn. EU bio-waste obligations and national funding programmes are driving municipal demand right now. Currently appointing partners for Germany, Austria, France, Portugal, Poland and Romania.
