For example, the family-owned company, originally based in Amsterdam, recently selected Sunforce from Purmerend to install almost 800 solar panels at all Nijdra locations in Middenbeemster and Heerhugowaard.

Nijdra is committed to the region and supports the local community in many ways. Nijdra sponsors the korfball club BEP in Purmerend and is shirt sponsor of Volendam O21, the club for young footballers who hope, one day, to play for the major league club FC Volendam. Nijdra supports the sports clubs, and uses this opportunity to raise brand awareness among young people who may want a job in engineering.

Work and work placements

At Nijdra, we firmly believe the future lies with young people, and for this reason we have been an official partner of technasia Triade in Edam and SC Gerrit Rietveld in Purmerend for some time now. These two secondary schools specialise in STEM education, and Nijdra knows from experience that they do an excellent job. “These schools prepare many local young people for a career in a variety of engineering and manufacturing fields,” according to Mariska Laan, recruitment officer at Nijdra. We say: “Let them come, these young techies! Nijdra offers wonderful work and great work placements!"
