Financial highlights

Witteveen+Bos was founded in 1946. The first project was the construction of the Prins Bernhard lock in Deventer. A lot has happened since then and Witteveen+Bos is now one of the top ten engineering firms in the Netherlands. A characteristic of our company is that we have achieved that position entirely through organic growth.

Witteveen+Bos is a financially sound company, as is clear from the following financial indicators for the past five years.
