Company Profile
Anera B.V.

OUR HISTORY

Anera BV was founded by Gerard van Rijen in 1987 as a trading company in warehouse equipment. The activities consisted of purchasing and sales, but also designing and adjusting steel parts. As a mechanical engineer, Gerard is strongly focused on technical solutions, which means solving customer requests and the production side has become an increasingly important part. Gerard could make what the customer needed.

Cold-rolled mezzanine floors

In the early 1990s, many mezzanine floors were still built traditionally, with mainly hot-rolled steel beams and/or wooden beams. While terms such as standardisation, modularity and volume were commonplace in the world of shelving, this was not so much the case in the field of mezzanine floors. By combining the knowledge and experience of both markets, Anera increasingly grew into a producing specialist in mezzanine floors. For instance, we were the first supplier of a standard oval hole in the profiles for sprinkler ducts. Today, the specialisation is entirely on mezzanine floors and related products and Anera BV is one of the few manufacturers of mezzanine floors in Europe with its own uniquely designed building system based on our Euro profile. This is the only constructive cold-rolled profile that fits together to achieve higher strength without loss of free space. Our cold-rolled system steel structures are designed in such a way that they are circular and reusable. Find out more about sustainability here.

Hybrid mezzanine structures

Sometimes, a 100% cold-formed system steel structure cannot provide the complete solution, for instance, when there are large spans, certain requirements for strength and sagging, fire safety or seismic loads. As your specialist in mezzanine floors, we have been supplying hybrid structures with both cold and hot-rolled beams for years now. Since 2023, we have expanded our construction department to Zevenbergen, where we are fully equipped to better meet all possible wishes and requirements when it comes to floors. To us, this is the best of both worlds. Cold-rolled if possible, and in combination with hot-rolled if necessary.

Family business – Quality and service

As a family business, we focus on delivering successful projects. The customer’s wishes are key. For us, long-term continuity comes before quick profits. This is reflected in the quality of our product and the service that comes with it! An promise is a promise and only make promises that you can keep. You can count on us for that. This core value is also followed by the second generation that is now active within our company.
