The new Movares: definitive integration of eight companies under one name provides more power to offer smarter solutions to challenges in the Netherlands
Utrecht, November 7, 2024 – As of July 1, 2025, eight companies within the Innovus Smart Engineering Group will proceed with one name: Movares. This joining of forces creates a strong player that focuses on spatial and infrastructural development with a strong ambition: a permanent position in the top 3 of the Netherlands as a leading partner in the field of innovative and sustainable solutions for a future-proof Netherlands.
The eight companies – Movares, Movares Water, BRO Advisers in Spatial Planning, MUG Ingenieursbureau, Ingenieursburo Ulehake, Zonneveld ingenieurs, TRAJECT Adviseurs and managers and B&Z Bouwtechniek – will part with their individual names as of July 1, 2025 and will continue together under the brand Movares Smart Urban Engineering. With approximately 1,500 employees and an annual turnover of more than EUR 200 million, this integration makes Movares a powerful and versatile player that is ready to tackle the social and infrastructural challenges of today and tomorrow.
Under the leadership of Barbara Visser (CEO), Paul ten Kroode (COO) and Harm Hoorn (CTO), the company focuses on a future in which efficiency, digitalization and sustainability are central.
“The spatial challenges in the Netherlands are immense, complex and closely interconnected. This affects us every day as a society. Energy transition, urban development, nature development and mobility are some examples of this. The challenges require a completely different approach. In the past year, we have proven together that the joining of forces of our people, knowledge and skills from all our organizations, in combination with a clear commitment to digitalization and innovation, will lead to innovative solutions for our customers. The next step in our joining forces means that we will continue as one brand with a new image. As Movares Smart Urban Engineering, we will be working on the smart infrastructural and spatial solutions of today and tomorrow,” says Visser, who has been in charge of the company since the beginning of November.
The launch of the new brand Movares Smart Urban Engineering will take place on 8 November 2024. The other companies will integrate into the new brand in phases. By continuing together as Movares Smart Urban Engineering, Movares responds to important themes such as sustainability and smart technology. Due to the scale of the integration, clients will find in Movares a single partner for all expertise in the field of rail, mobility, energy, buildings, infrastructure and water infrastructure. With the ambition to become a top 3 player in spatial and infrastructural development, Movares is strengthening its role as a partner for clients in realizing a future-proof Netherlands.
