History

The history of HMVT goes back to 1988 under the wings of Hannover Insurance, as the sister company of Hannover Umwelt Technik (HUT). In 1990, HMVT – Hannover Milieu- en Veiligheidstechniek BV – was formally set up. In the early years, HMVT was one of the first companies in the Netherlands to introduce in-situ soil remediation techniques.

In 1994, HMVT cut itself loose from the parent company and proceeded as an independent company. Since it gained independence, the company has seen steady growth in terms of personnel, knowledge, projects and applied remediation techniques. As well as being engaged in soil remediation projects, the company has also gained much experience in purification of water and air currents.

HMVT has also been operating on the Belgian market since the 1990's. The growing operation in Belgium justified the establishment of an office in Brecht in 2004: the subsidiary company WeGroSan/HMVT. In recent years, business extended even beyond the Dutch and the Belgian markets, especially in France, Germany and England.

At present, HMVT is an all-round eco-engineering company with specialist knowledge of many soil remediation methods as well as the purification of water and air currents. Our approx. 40 staff members could be described as being client-oriented, innovative, practical-thinking and entrepreneurial.

In 2001, HMVT became part of Oranjewoud. However, HMVT remains a self-reliant company, maintaining its own character.
