15 years of Greenworks💚
Not every building product has the same impact on people, the environment, and the long-term resilience of what we build. In 2011, our Dutch operating company BMN Nederland set out to change that with Greenworks, making sustainable building choices concrete, measurable, and accessible to its customers.

🎓 🚀Strong businesses are built by strong teams. That is why, across BME Group, our operating companies invest in continuous learning and development. When people grow, teams grow stronger, operations improve and the business moves forward. At BAUKING GmbH, two recent programs show what that looks like in practice.

For building professionals, the working day is all about convenience: fewer stops, fast decisions and having the right materials available exactly when needed.

That is why BMN Nederland, our leading building materials brand in the Netherlands, has entered into a partnership with Elektramat, a specialist online supplier of electrical and installation materials for professionals and DIY customers.

STG gives bathroom design a new edge! 🌟🛁 Our company STG has fully renewed six showrooms in Belgium to support bathroom renovations. The refreshed locations in Wilrijk, Alleur, Turnhout, Ninove, Gentbrugge and Jambes now give customers a more inspiring experience, with a broader offering.

I am Christoph Makelberge, Managing Director at BMB Bouwmaterialen since December 2025. After many years in the building materials sector, including most recently at STG, joining BMB felt like a natural next step: an opportunity to bring my experience into another part of BME Group allowing to continue sharing knowledge across markets and different businesses.

🎉 After 80 years on the Seine, Raboni just opened its most modern branch yet. Raboni’s Ivry-sur-Seine branch has moved to a brand-new location at 4 Port de Tolbiac, Paris 13! This fully modernised site reflects Raboni’s 80+ year commitment to professional builders across the Paris region, and their ambition to serve customers even better.

I begin this week with great pride, humility and a strong sense of responsibility as I step into the role of CEO of BME Group. It is a privilege to join an organization with such a strong portfolio of leading local brands, backed by more than 12,000 dedicated colleagues across Europe. What makes BME Group truly distinctive is the combination of deep local expertise and strong market positions with the scale and strength to create value across Europe.

Today marks my final day as Group CEO of BME after nearly 10 remarkable years — a moment of reflection, gratitude, and pride. Looking back, what stands out most is not just what we achieved, but the culture we built together: performance-driven, caring, and united by a shared purpose to create meaningful impact. Profitable growth has been the result of that foundation.

🛡️👷🦺 Rules don’t create safe workplaces. People do. At BME, we operate in environments where we handle heavy materials with risks which are real. Strict procedures, and a safe physical environment are essential, but they are only part of the story. The strongest safety cultures are built on trust, clarity, and people genuinely looking out for each other.
