The history of Van Dalen Groep goes back to November 2, 1959, when JCA van Dalen started its own transport company. The activities were soon expanded to include demolition and earthworks, laying sewers and soil remediation. An expertise that attracted attention not only in Huissen, but also in more and more surrounding municipalities. Van Dalen installed the first waste container in 1979, and subsequently the social call for a clean environment led to its own waste transhipment and sorting center in the 1980s and the expansion of the recycling activities at 't Looveer from the 1990s. A start was also made on demolition and asbestos remediation.
