First production line at Maasvlakte becomes operational
Company profile
Sif Netherlands BV has been around since 1948 and has built up an excellent reputation over the years. Starting out as a manufacturer of large and thick tubular steel structures only, we have since evolved to supply complete monopile foundation solutions to the offshore wind industry. With two production sites in the Netherlands — in Roermond and at Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam — we have been listed on Euronext Amsterdam since May 2016.
For over 75 years now, we have been innovating and building the foundations for a sustainable tomorrow for future generations. Sif is constantly developing the products and services that enable us to supply exactly what the market needs. Wind farm developers can turn to us for foundation design, corrosion protection and logistical services such as warehousing and transloading. With our advanced machinery and production processes, we are capable of manufacturing 200 XXXL monopiles every year. Each one of these steel tubes weighs 2,500 tonnes and has a diameter of 11 metres and a length of 100 metres. The result is an annual production capacity of 400,000 tonnes, which equals an offshore wind capacity of 2,400 MW every year.
We are also working to reduce our own emissions. In 2019, we started generating our own green power using the GE Haliade-X wind turbine located on our site. On top of that, we use induction to heat our weld seams. We are constantly optimising our production process with a focus on safety, efficiency, quality and our impact on the environment.
We are completely transparent in our partnerships with our customers and business associates. We bring ideas to the table to help you find solutions that make your products more effective and your processes more efficient. We tell our customers about the impact of their technical or other choices on the cost of the production or installation process at the earliest possible stage.
Our staff are driven and always strive to deliver the best possible quality. Through teamwork, decisive action and the power of imagination, we join forces to create genuinely impressive products that contribute to a more sustainable future. Here at Sif, we offer an inspiring work environment that offers room for growth.
We owe our reputation to our focus on quality and reliability. We are literally and figuratively building the foundations for offshore wind energy — a crucial element of the energy transition. Given the huge impact our products have, dedication, collaboration and ownership are indispensable.
