ZND is a global leader in the production of temporary fencing, barriers, hoarding and accessories. Through their network of distribution partners, they sell their products to the construction and events sector across Europe and North America. ZND Group prides itself on top operational excellence and on its agility in both production and sales processes to meet product requirements that differ strongly between countries. In 2017, Rivean Capital invested in the company to support the company’s growth.

ZND has existed since 1965 and has a strong reputation and recognition in the industry as pioneers in the temporary fencing business. Currently, ZND operates own factories in The Netherlands, the UK, Poland, and the United States, from where products are shipped to regional customers. Their fence panels and barriers have featured at some of the world’s most prestigious events including Olympic Games, Tour de France, and the Glastonbury Music Festival. On a day-to-day basis, people run into ZND products at construction sites, protecting the public from the work hazards.

The global ZND organization is managed by the group CEO and a CFO, under which there is a US Director and a European Director. Each of the businesses have a dedicated General Manager, who owns the P&L and oversees the factory, commercial activities, and financial aspects (including balance sheet and cashflow), supported by a management team focused on operations, sales, and finance/HR. The General Managers in Europe report into the European Director.
