We are very pleased to announce that as of July 3rd, Meis Fire Protection is officially part of Sansidor.
About Meis Fire Protection
Meis Fire Protection (www.meis-brandbeveiliging.nl) provides a wide range of (recurring) inspections and certifications focused on fire safety. This includes annual inspections of fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, and pressure testing of dry risers. Additionally, Meis offers training courses such as emergency response (BHV) training, marking a new activity for Sansidor! Based out of their office in Gorinchem, Meis operates throughout the Netherlands.
About Sansidor
This acquisition perfectly aligns with Sansidor’s growth ambitions. Sansidor is a TIS company, standing for Testing, Inspecting & Services. Within our four clusters, we work on safety, health, and sustainability, focusing on buildings, installations, and spaces where people live, work, or stay:
- Water Safety
- Electrical Inspections & Testing
- Building Integrity
- Fire Safety Additionally, we have two key niches in Infection Prevention and Air Quality Research. We grow autonomously with largely independent organizations that focus on local entrepreneurship. We encourage internal collaboration and provide central assurance and support. We actively add companies through acquisitions (currently in the Netherlands, but soon in Germany as well). We call this strategy “Buy and Build Together,” and our motto is “Ensuring a safe and healthy environment.”
Largely Independent with Support
Meis Fire Protection will continue its activities as its customers are used to, with the same dedicated colleagues, the same quality, from the same location, and the involvement of director Dennis van der Meis will remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. Sansidor will provide help and support, allowing Meis to retain its specialization and execution while assisting with surrounding processes and secondary matters.
What Dennis van der Meis Says
Dennis, Director of Meis Fire Protection, states: “The past few months have been intense, and I am very pleased to say that we are now part of Sansidor. This gives me, as an entrepreneur, more peace of mind and renewed energy to focus even more on our clients in the long term; to collaborate with other specialists; and to concentrate more on the technical aspects of our field. In the coming period, not much will change, and together with Sansidor and the other sister companies, we will look for areas where support is possible. This is great for all colleagues, and at the same time, we can now offer even more services to our clients.”
What Dave, Frido, and Udo Say
Dave van Zanten (CFO), Frido de Vries (COO), and Udo Waltman (CEO) of Sansidor, say: “We are very pleased with this second acquisition of 2024. It adds volume to our fire safety activities and marks a significant first step into recurring safety training. This acquisition, following an intensive preparation with Dennis van der Meis and his advisors, aligns well with our growth ambitions, representing a significant step forward in our development. We look forward to collaborating with new clients, maintaining Dennis’s continued involvement, and, of course, working with our new colleagues!”
