Award-winning entrepreneurship: recognizing innovation and sustainability
A special honor: Heat Matrix and sister company Bos Nieuwerkerk have been named winners of the 2024 Midden-Holland Entrepreneur Award. During a festive evening at the Goudse Schouwburg, it was announced that the award in the SME category goes to Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel. Owner Martine Goedegebuure:"This award is a great honor and a wonderful recognition for our employees, because they are the ones who make the difference every single day at Bos Nieuwerkerk and Heat Matrix!"

Sustainable and people-focused entrepreneurship
The jury praised the winners in their report: “Sustainability is not just reflected in their products, but throughout the entire organization. They are driven by business success, but even more by people. This is a company many others could take as an example.”
Innovation for a sustainable industry
Goedegebuure: “Our companies are working together to create a more sustainable industry. We help reduce emissions and support businesses in limiting their environmental impact. Whether it’s flue gas systems or heat recovery, our solutions meet the strictest environmental standards and legislation. Every day, we search for the best way to future-proof not only our own companies but the entire industrial sector.”
People make the difference
“Our team, our network, and our clients are at the heart of our success. As a family business, we stand for honesty, reliability, and collaboration based on equality. What feels natural to us—saying what we do and doing what we say—is what our clients value most. That mentality truly sets us apart.”
Let’s connect!
With the motto “Business is business, but business is above all about people,” we continue to grow. Goedegebuure: “We’re always open to meeting new colleagues. Take a look at our website and feel free to drop by. The coffee’s ready!”
