Fully vertically integrated, Dekker operates its own logistics fleet, raw materials trading activities, and concrete production facilities in the Netherlands and Belgium.
- Driven by an ambitious investment agenda focused on fleet electrification, solar energy expansion, and strategic land acquisitions, Dekker envisaged to realise a robust and future-proof financing package.
