ORIGINS

ABOUT Braam

It started with a horse and carriage...

In 1935, Dorus Braam transported hand-loaded shells from the beach of IJmuiden to the local lime factory by horse and cart, where they were ground and served as raw material for making cement. A lucrative trade for the Braam family, who at the time laid the foundation for a company that would eventually specialize in recycling large quantities of soil and rubble. Owner René Braam belongs to the third generation and sees a flourishing future for his company at a time when sustainable reuse of materials is becoming increasingly obvious.

Everything You Need In-House.

At Braam Recycling, we’ve got everything you need right here. Our comprehensive range of machines, equipment, and skilled personnel allows us to be both fast and flexible. Whether it’s a sieve or a crusher, a quay crane or a weighmaster, a soil engineer or a ground worker – we have it all under one roof. 

This means we can handle your projects efficiently and adapt to your specific needs, ensuring a seamless and smooth process from start to finish.

We also have on-site port. This unique feature allows us to facilitate the movement of materials by water, providing a more CO2-friendly transportation option. Utilizing this green alternative not only reduces our carbon footprint but also offers greater flexibility and efficiency in material handling.
