Company Profile
Anera B.V.

OUR HISTORY

Anera BV was founded by Gerard van Rijen in 1987 as a trading company in warehouse equipment. Activities consisted of purchasing and sales, but also designing and modifying steel parts. As a mechanical engineer, Gerard is strongly focused on technical solutions, which means solving customer challenges 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 standardisation, modularity and volume were commonplace in the world of shelving, this was not yet the case in the field of mezzanines. By combining the knowledge and experience of both markets, Anera brought these features into the mezzanine floor market. For instance, we were the first supplier providing standard oval holes in our profiles for sprinkler ducts and building services. Today, the specialisation is entirely on mezzanine structures and related products. 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 structural cold-rolled profile that can interlock 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

In cases where a 100% cold-formed steel structure cannot provide the complete solution we offer hybrid structures. These structures combining both cold and hot-rolled beams, utilise the best of both worlds. Since 2023, we have expanded our construction department to Zevenbergen, where we are fully equipped to meet all possible wishes and requirements when it comes to hot-rolled and welded parts. Thanks to this capability our clients can rely on Anera to offer the optimal solution. Cold-rolled if possible, and in combination with hot-rolled when necessary.

Family business – Quality and service

As a family business, we focus on making projects successful for all stakeholders. Our customer’s satisfaction is key. We value long-term continuity and relationships over quick profits. This is reflected in the quality of our product and the service that comes with it! A promise is a promise and we only make promises we can keep. You can count on us for that. This core value is continued by the second generation that is now leading our company.
