IGL Acquires M&L Maatvoeren en Landmeten to Expand Surveying Expertise

IGL, a specialist in construction, infrastructure, and industrial sector services and part of Infraneo Nederland since November 2025, has expanded its capabilities through the acquisition of M&L maatvoeren en landmeten, a well-established surveying and land measurement company headquartered in Heeze, Netherlands. The acquisition, announced on May 8, 2026, aims to strengthen IGL’s market presence and service offerings across the Dutch infrastructure landscape. Infraneo Nederland is itself backed by French private equity firm Seven2, which has been a shareholder since July 2023.

While the financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed, the strategic integration of M&L into IGL and its parent group, Infraneo Nederland, marks a significant step in consolidating expertise in surveying and measurement services. M&L will continue to operate under its own name, retaining its team and operational identity, ensuring continuity for existing clients.

M&L maatvoeren en landmeten is recognised for its professional and independent approach to surveying, serving clients nationwide in the Netherlands. IGL, known for delivering specialised services in construction and infrastructure, views this acquisition as a natural extension of its growth strategy within the broader Infraneo Nederland platform.

According to the director of Infraneo Nederland, the acquisition aligns with a deliberate focus on partnering with organisations that demonstrate strong technical expertise and cultural fit. “The addition of M&L to IGL complements our existing portfolio, bringing together expertise, quality, and craftsmanship,” the director said.

IGL’s general director emphasised the cultural and operational synergies, noting, “M&L’s quality-driven and pragmatic approach matches IGL’s values. Together, we aim to foster sustainable growth built on trust, short communication lines, and entrepreneurial freedom.” The director of M&L also expressed optimism, highlighting the benefits of joining a larger organisation while preserving M&L’s identity and working methods.

The acquisition enhances IGL’s ability to cross-sell surveying and measurement services to its existing client base and expand into new infrastructure and industrial projects. Operational synergies include shared administrative functions and consolidated procurement of surveying technology, which are expected to improve efficiency and project execution.

Market analysts note that this move strengthens IGL’s competitive position in the Dutch surveying sector, where consolidation is accelerating. The acquisition is part of a broader buy-and-build strategy under Infraneo Nederland and Seven2, which targets the consolidation of specialist infrastructure and technical services businesses across the Netherlands and beyond.

Integration challenges include maintaining M&L’s independent culture within a larger corporate structure and aligning processes without disrupting ongoing projects. Effective communication and collaboration will be critical to realising the anticipated synergies.

Looking ahead, IGL plans to leverage M&L’s strong reputation and specialised techniques to drive innovation and build a comprehensive service offering for infrastructure clients. The acquisition supports IGL’s broader vision of creating a robust, innovative organisation capable of addressing the evolving needs of the built environment — backed by the resources and strategic ambition of Infraneo Nederland and Seven2.
