In 2023, Eco Reest achieved a turnover of €4.5 million and is on track to exceed €5 million in 2024 with an expected EBITDA margin of 13%.

    Founder and director Ronny Huls: “I still believe as strongly in the future of our core activities: ecology, soil, and asbestos as I did 30 years ago when I founded Eco Reest,. There is growing awareness of the importance of our environment and nature, both politically and socially. As regulations increase, we will also continue to grow.”

    “Due to the increasing complexity of tenders and projects, the need arose for a strong partner who can provide the necessary impetus for future development and who also has the expertise to service our clients with a multidisciplinary teams of experts."

    Complementary offering and geographical distribution

Thanks to the integration of Eco Reest, ABO-Group is creating a strong ecology line across the three countries in which it operates, with more than 100 ecologists in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. An excellent opportunity for knowledge exchange and the dissemination of expertise within the group."
