About us

87 years of history

What we build on

Our history goes back a long way. The first generation of the Van Hemert family founded Van Hemert Brakel in 1933. A progressive company using contract workers in the local market that further developed into a contracting and rental company. Under the second generation, the company developed to become a major player in earthmoving and road construction, areas in which it is still active.

In 2009, under the leadership of the third generation of the Van Hemert family, the Non-ferro Recovery Company was founded, or NRC for short. An international name that underlines what we do today: recovery of non-ferrous metals. In 2016, Aerinnova was founded to further expand the services we provide to our clients. Here the recovered metals resulting from processing at NRC are further processed and traded for the customer.
