ECH-Groep

We would like to inform you about some important developments within our organization. Since its founding in 1994, ECH-Groep has been dedicated to inspecting and certifying pressure equipment. Our focus has always been on quality, reliability, and independence, within an environment where safety is paramount. We are proud to have combined this high standard with the commitment and flexibility that our customers appreciate.

At the end of 2024, ECH-Groep was officially acquired by BES Group, a leading British certification and inspection body for pressure equipment and other industrial installations. BES Group is now the new owner of ECH-Groep. This acquisition marks an important new step in our development. By joining forces, we can further strengthen our services and seize new opportunities within the industry.

Following this acquisition, there has been a change in the management of ECH-Groep as of April 1, 2025. Jetze Rodenhuis has handed over his management duties and will support the new management as an advisor. His years of experience in the inspection world will thus remain available to our organization. Peter de Visser is also transferring his management responsibilities. He will remain involved with ECH-Groep as a member of the management team and will focus on business development and software development in the coming years.

The new two-person management team consists of Arjen Meppelder and Peter van Bokhorst. Both know our organization inside and out and have our full confidence. We are confident that they will lead ECH-Groep in a vigorous manner and ensure the continuity of our services to you.

With this new management, ECH-Groep, as part of BES Group, is ready for the next phase, in which we will achieve further growth and development in the field of inspection, certification, and testing of technical installations.

As the outgoing management, we would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us over the past years. We hand over the baton with peace of mind, convinced that ECH-Groep will continue its services as a reliable partner.

ECH-Groep is authorized to perform high-quality certification, verification, and heat measurement services. We contribute to your safe and sustainable installations with pressure equipment.
