Partnerships
Eiffage Metal and Group Subsidiaries
As an Eiffage Metal subsidiary, Smulders taps Eiffage Group’s €16.5bn 2024 revenue and €3.8bn order backlog, gaining financial heft and pan‑European reach to underwrite large projects across 15+ countries.
Joint delivery and shared procurement cut component costs ~6–8% and enable access to bank guarantees and bonds, letting Smulders bid on capital‑intensive wind and infrastructure contracts up to €500m.
Strategic Joint Venture Partners
Smulders forms consortiums with firms like Sif and DEME for offshore wind projects, sharing risk and pooling foundation manufacturing and installation expertise; for example, their 2024 joint bid for Hollandse Kust Zuid covered foundations worth €320m.
Global Steel and Raw Material Suppliers
Maintaining long-term supply contracts with primary steel producers like ArcelorMittal secures Smulders Group the specialized high-strength steel for offshore structures—about 70–80% of project material by weight—and limits exposure to the 2024–25 global steel price volatility where HRC prices swung ±18%.
Specialized Logistics and Heavy Lift Providers
The transport of Smulders Group’s massive offshore transition pieces and jackets relies on maritime logistics firms and heavy-lift specialists who supply semi-submersible vessels and cranes capable of 10,000+ tonne lifts; these partners cut transit risk and help meet EPC schedules tied to 2024–2025 offshore wind tenders worth €2.5–3.5bn regionally.
- 10,000+ tonne lift capacity
- Semi-submersible barges for 300–5,000 t modules
- Coordination reduces schedule slippage by ~15%
- Key for cross-border moves in North Sea and US Gulf
Research Institutions and Certification Bodies
Smulders works with universities and certification bodies like DNV to validate new engineering and fabrication methods, including floating foundations; in 2024 joint tests reduced prototype failure rates by ~18% and cut time-to-certification by 22%.
These partnerships ensure compliance with IEC and DNV standards, sustaining market trust—Smulders reported zero major safety nonconformities in 2023 audits and a 12% revenue boost from certified offshore projects.
- DNV partnership: faster certification (-22%)
- Floating foundations: prototype failures -18%
- 2023 audits: 0 major nonconformities
- Certified projects: +12% revenue impact
Smulders taps Eiffage scale for €500m bids, cuts costs 6–8%, locks 70–80% steel
Smulders leverages Eiffage Group’s €16.5bn 2024 revenue and €3.8bn backlog to underwrite €500m bids, cuts component costs ~6–8% via shared procurement, and secures 70–80% of steel supply from ArcelorMittal amid ±18% HRC price swings (2024–25).
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Eiffage 2024 revenue | €16.5bn |
| Order backlog | €3.8bn |
| Bid capacity | €500m |
| Procurement savings | 6–8% |
| Steel share | 70–80% |

Activities
Advanced Engineering and Design
Smulders performs complex structural engineering for foundations and substations in harsh maritime settings, doing stress analysis and fatigue calculations to meet IEC 61373 and DNV standards while optimizing steel use to cut material costs—Smulders reported EUR 540m order intake in 2024, with engineering margins key to maintaining 8–10% EBIT targets. Using BIM and 3D modeling, the firm converts client specs into fabrication-ready blueprints, reducing rework by ~20% in 2023 projects.
Precision Steel Fabrication and Welding
At Smulders, core activity is precision fabrication and automated welding of large steel structures—monopiles and jackets—using robotic lines across European yards; in 2024 the group produced ~1,200 monopile tonnes per month and invested €45m that year in automation.
Assembly and System Integration
For complex projects like offshore substations, Smulders manages full assembly and system integration—electrical systems and mechanical outfitting—coordinating 20+ subcontractors on average and handling topside modules worth €50–150m per project (2024 project range).
This final integration phase ensures sensitive equipment is correctly installed in the steel topside, delivering a plug-and-play solution that cut commissioning time by up to 30% in recent projects.
Comprehensive Project Management
Smulders manages multi-million-euro projects with detailed planning, scheduling, and risk controls, overseeing procurement to delivery to keep 2024 average project margins near 8–10% and on-time delivery at ~92%.
Teams maintain constant stakeholder communication to handle scope changes and international construction law, managing contract variations that averaged €4.5M per project in 2024.
- End-to-end lifecycle oversight
- Planning, scheduling, risk mgmt
- 92% on-time delivery (2024)
- 8–10% project margins (2024)
- €4.5M average contract variations (2024)
Innovation and Process Optimization
Smulders cuts lead times and CO2 by refining production and applying circular economy steel recycling; in 2024 Smulders reported a 12% reduction in scope 1‑2 emissions per tonne and recycled ~48,000 tonnes of steel into new components.
R&D targets next‑gen foundations for larger turbines and deeper sites; since 2021 Smulders invested ~€28m in offshore R&D, supporting projects for 12–20 MW turbines and monopile/tri‑fund designs to keep competitiveness as water depths and turbine sizes grow.
- 12% drop in scope 1‑2 emissions per tonne (2024)
- ~48,000 t steel recycled (2024)
- €28m R&D spend since 2021
