Solid foundations for sustainable growth

For FIRST BASE Ground Screws, 2025 was all about building on a proven formula for success. “We are the wholesale distributor of screw foundations for veranda builders who expect more than just stock. Our strength is in the combination,” says Sales Director Camile Gisbers. “We have the largest stock in Europe, but just as important: we know which solution is best for each project. That advice makes all the difference.”

With over fifty thousand foundations and extension parts in stock, the promise could also be fully realized in 2025: security and speed of delivery. Camile comments, “Thanks to this position, we guarantee same-day shipping, even during peak periods. Professionals must be able to count on delivery certainty. That is why we have laid down our success formula in the Solid 6 guarantees. These are concrete promises that directly benefit change builders. But stock alone is not enough. It's about knowing which screw and machine to use and how to apply a load-bearing calculation if necessary, depending on the customer's situation. This keeps each foundation not only installed quickly, but also technically sound and reliable for the long term.”

Practical advice 

Offering targeted advice is deeply rooted in the organization. Whether it concerns foundations on difficult soil types, determining the right screw diameter or choosing the right screw-in machine, the specialists are happy to think along with you. Camile: “Change builders know they can call us and get practical advice. We talk in solutions that work on the building site. They can count on proven quality: all our screws are EN 1090 certified and CE marked. And is a machine under maintenance or does one break down unexpectedly? Then we'll send a loaner machine, so they can continue installing the foundation smoothly.”

Technology that raises the bar 

2025 was also a year of technical innovation. The 5.0 manual indexing machines have been greatly improved and for larger projects the company will soon introduce two new hydraulic machines that will once again set new standards in the market. “With these we are responding to the demand for faster and more powerful indexing machines for large-scale projects,” said Technical Director Danny van den Elzen.

But looking ahead goes beyond technology at FIRST BASE. “That is why we also invest in the FIRST BASE Academy, where change builders acquire knowledge and skills that are directly applicable on the construction site. In this way, we not only ensure quality in our products, but also in the way they are applied.”

One development stood out in 2025: the growing need for demonstrability. Structural engineers want black-and-white proof that the foundation is correct. Danny: “How do you make craftsmanship at the foundation level really visible? We know the answer.”

Pushing boundaries

FIRST BASE also continued to grow internationally in 2025. Camile: “Our formula of stock, guarantees and expertise works everywhere. That's why we continue to expand our horizons.”  

Outlook

With 2025 as a solid foundation, FIRST BASE is looking ahead to the coming year. Camile: “We will continue to build on three pillars: stock, guarantees and knowledge. It is this mix that makes us unique. Whether it is a small veranda or a large-scale roofing project: veranda builders know that with FIRST BASE Ground Screws they are always on solid ground. And not unimportantly: we continue to profile ourselves above all as a knowledge partner for the market.”
