FIRST BASE Ground Screws Celebrates 10 Years of Groundbreaking Success

Uden, October 1, 2024 – FIRST BASE Ground Screws, the industry leader in sustainable ground screw foundations,  proudly celebrates its 10th anniversary today. What began a decade ago with a small inventory of ground screws stored in a shed has grown into a major player in the industry, with operations across the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany and Denmark, and customers in many more countries.

From backyard beginnings to global leader

The story of FIRST BASE started in 2014 when Joris Bullens, Managing Director, expanded Snelfunderen B.V. and launched FIRST BASE Ground Screws as a specialized distributor of ground screw foundations. Snelfunderen B.V. continues to thrive, offering installation services for FIRST BASE products. Today, the company is powered by a team of over 18 dedicated professionals whose combined expertise has driven its impressive growth.

“Reaching our 10-year anniversary is a testament to our team’s dedication and the trust our customers have placed in us,” says Joris Bullens, Managing Director. “Our mission has always been to provide sustainable, high-quality solutions that stand the test of time. As we look ahead, innovation and sustainability remain our guiding principles.”

Comprehensive solutions for every project

FIRST BASE offers a wide range of ground screw solutions tailored to diverse needs. From DIY enthusiasts building garden sheds to large-scale commercial projects, the company provides reliable and durable foundations. The PRO series, specifically designed for heavy-duty structures, has become synonymous with durability and reliability. Ground screws are not only robust but also environmentally friendly, being fully recyclable and providing a sustainable alternative to concrete foundations.

Beyond just supplying products, FIRST BASE provides extensive technical expertise, including site-specific foundation calculations and access to a vast network of skilled installers.

Camile, Sales Director, emphasizes the company’s customer-centric approach: “From our early days to now serving customers across the globe, we’ve consistently delivered tailored solutions that exceed expectations. Whether it’s a small DIY project or a large commercial installation, we’re proud to provide tailored solutions that deliver results. Celebrating this anniversary is not just about looking back, but also about reaffirming our dedication to our clients and partners as we continue to grow.”

A decade of sustainability and innovation

Sustainability is at the core of FIRST BASE’s operations. The company has nearly completed the transition to fully electric machinery and is committed to phasing out all fossil-fueled equipment. Continuous product improvements focus on enhancing durability and performance while minimizing environmental impact.

“We’ve pushed the boundaries of foundation technology over the past decade,” says Danny, Technical Director. “Our relentless pursuit of innovation has led to smarter, more efficient solutions. We’re excited to explore new materials and technologies that will further reduce our environmental footprint.”
