Heidelberg Materials is one of the world's largest integrated producers of building materials and solutions, with leading market positions in cement, aggregates and concrete in Belgium and the Netherlands.
It employs a total of about 2,200 employees across 80 locations. Environmental responsibility is at the heart of their actions. As a forerunner on the road to CO2 neutrality, Heidelberg Materials develops material solutions for the future. At their site in IJmuiden, they produce around 1 million tons of cement for the Dutch market with around 45 colleagues.
Why partner with Techport?
By working together and networking, we can solve the challenges of the future. We cannot do this alone, for this we need influx of school leavers interested in technology. Together with local educational institutions and supported by Techport, they must be trained for the jobs of the future. Relative to the global cement industry, we are leading the way towards CO2 neutrality. We are doing this by actively working on deployment of alternative raw materials with our own developments and partnerships. Already cement stone is being recovered from concrete recycling, urban mines.

We devise and build process lines for blasting and coating long steel objects such as pipes and tubes. We supply these all over the world to companies that apply the coatings to pipe segments in order to subsequently build a safe energy network. So indirectly, we ensure that the world is supplied with (green) energy.
When it comes to the transportation of energy, the world is in transition. From traditional sources such as oil, water and gas, a shift is taking place to more sustainable sources such as hydrogen, biogas and CO2. Our green mission is "Enhancing the planet's resource infrastructure with digital precision. This objective aligns one-to-one with Techport's mission to become the first green industrial zone in the Netherlands.
In recent years we have scrutinized our own processes in terms of cleaner production. That meant a huge change in working methods. For example, we work with 'digital twins' to test our designs virtually. This eliminates errors before production takes place. This saves working hours, manpower and emissions. In this way, we also indirectly reduce our customers' carbon footprint.
Why partner with Techport?
Selmers has been established in the region since 1966 and therefore has the IJmond region at heart. Selmers' core values are cooperation and taking responsibility. Through the cooperation with Techport, we hope to partner with companies with the same objective, in order to learn from each other, exchange experiences and become better known regionally.

We develop machines that can peel, cut, core and wedge fruits and vegetables. We sell these machines to processors such as Vezet and Hessing, who in turn, thanks to the machines, supply the products ready-to-eat to major supermarkets.
Why partner with Techport?
There are two main reasons why we became Techport Company Plus. The main reason is that we are currently in transition as a company. We are transforming from a traditional mechanical company to a robotics/artificial intelligence-driven company. This is changing the work for our employees, as executive labor is being replaced by knowledge labor. We are going to make this transformation together with Techport and with the help of the Just Transition Fund.
The other reason is that we are affiliated with Tech Valley. This organization is active in the Kop van Noord-Holland region. Within Tech Valley, over 60 innovative regional manufacturing companies work together on knowledge development and innovation. In the future, we hope that Techport and Tech Valley will work together. Among other things, we want to collect knowledge from Techport in the field of Tiny Machine Learning for this transition, but they also want to contribute their acquired knowledge

We are an independent Consultancy & Engineering firm. Our family business has been working on single and multidisciplinary projects for many different clients for 60 years. Our engineers supervise the most diverse projects from start to finish. And we also carry out the engineering for these projects. We like to be challenged by the industry to come up with the best solutions. Our focus is on seven markets: energy, heavy industry, buildings, tank terminals, food & pharma, chemicals and refineries.
Why partner with Techport?
We became a partner of Techport because we think it is important to stay connected to tomorrow's market. And especially not to watch from the sidelines to see what will happen next. We became a member of Mytec last year because we see it as our social duty to train technicians in this region. Becoming a member of the Techport network is then a logical step for us. After all, Techport has proven over the past 10 years that it is more than just a cozy chat club with the region's companies. The Innovation Centre is one of the tangible results of that. We want to make our contribution to that by adding and enriching knowledge gained. I am personally convinced that enough great projects will follow if we from the region put our shoulders to the wheel but are also open to sharing knowledge. The cake is big enough for everyone, we just have to make sure that each company gets the right piece when it is divided up.
