Mibau Stema Group, a leading supplier of aggregates for the construction and infrastructure sectors, proudly announces the development of a second terminal in the Afrikahaven in Amsterdam. With this strategic expansion, the company strengthens its position in the Dutch market and takes an important step in its long-term strategy focused on growth, sustainability, and knowledge sharing. This step is part of the further expansion of production capacity at our production sites in Norway. From mid-2026, approximately 2 million additional tonnes will be available to meet future demand for high-quality construction raw materials.

In cooperation with Port of Amsterdam, Mibau Stema Nederland B.V. has acquired a new terminal of approximately 50,000 m² in the Afrikahaven. The terminal is expected to become operational by the end of Q2 or in early Q3 - 2026.

 

The location features a completely new quay with a dredged water depth of 13.5 meters, enabling the two newest, future self-discharging vessels of the Mibau Stema Group to berth without any restrictions. These vessels achieve a CO₂ reduction of approximately 100% due to fuel, further underlining the group’s sustainability ambitions.

 

 

The new terminal forms an essential pillar of Mibau Stema Nederland B.V.’s future growth strategy. This strategy is partly driven by the completion of the Grensmaas project in 2026 and the expected structural decline in the supply of construction aggregates from North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).

 

In addition, the introduction of Granobase® plays an important role. This innovative product concept forms the basis for new applications and solutions and contributes to further distinctive market positioning. With this, Mibau Stema Nederland B.V. increases its visibility among government bodies and engineering consultancies and explicitly develops as a full-fledged knowledge partner within the Dutch civil engineering sector (GWW).

 

 

“When I started alone in 2009 at what was then Mibau Nederland B.V., we had one terminal of 17,000 m² in the Suezhaven. That was sufficient at the time to achieve our first goal: building a solid network of relationships and introducing high-quality aggregates to the Dutch market.

 

With this new site, we are ready to respond to future market developments and have sufficient capacity to ensure continuity of supply to our customers in the long term.

 

With this new terminal and our sustainable innovations in shipping, we are taking a big step toward the future as a supplier of construction aggregates for a more sustainable society”, says Frank Holzapfel, Managing Director Mibau-Stema Nederland B.V.

 

“We are pleased with the arrival of Mibau Stema Nederland B.V.’s own terminal in the Afrikahaven. They have been a valued customer for many years and until now made use of a third-party terminal. The decision to establish their own loading and transshipment facility underlines their commitment to the port and their long-term ambition to use Amsterdam as an import hub. From this terminal, Mibau Stema Nederland B.V. can serve the market via sea and inland shipping, road, and rail.

 

This multimodal approach and the focus on sustainable operations align well with the working methods and strategy of Port of Amsterdam,” says Koen Overtoom, CEO of Port of Amsterdam.
