"Our focus is not only on delivering quality products, such as reinforcement steel, but also on building sustainable relationships with our customers," says Ilhan. "We focus on delivering top quality and professionals who make the difference in each project. We understand how complex and demanding large-scale infrastructure and civil projects can be. It is not just about materials, but also about reliability and flexibility. We want to be a partner who not only provides materials and labour, but who from the start thinks along, innovates and grows along."
"As we grew, we realized that we could serve our clients even better by providing high-quality steel products," said Ilhan. "This led to the acquisition of Tilborgh's Concrete Steel. By joining forces, we were able to increase our flexibility, innovation and adaptability, allowing us to deliver large amounts of steel and manpower at a decent price and without compromising quality or safety. Our steel products are not just products to order, but result-oriented solutions that we provide with care, craftsmanship and an eye for sustainability."

Initially, Palmax focused on providing qualified teams for complex infrastructure projects, especially for large Dutch projects. Think of the Afsluitdijk, the Nieuwe Sluis Terneuzen, Station Driebergen-Zeist and various partial projects for ASML. This opened the doors to similar projects in Belgium, including the first energy island in the world (Princess Elisabeth Island), COTU and the ONE by INEOS project. "These projects show the strength of synergy with Tilborghs Concrete Steel. We provided experienced specialists and adapted to the desired speed and rhythm of the client."
The sector is changing faster than ever, so how does your organisation respond to these changes? "By investing heavily in technologies that make steel processing more efficient, with less emissions and waste," Ilhan replies. "We are constantly exploring how to improve our products for a sustainable life cycle. We also innovate so that we can meet tomorrow's social and environmental requirements."

"One of the key values our companies manage is reliability. Challenges such as tight deadlines, cultural differences and high quality standards require an approach based on flexibility, innovation and reliability. Our experience, especially with large Dutch clients, has helped us to effectively navigate through different markets and requirements."
Finally, what is your advice to the sector? "Keep your core values high and continue to invest in people, productivity, efficiency and innovation. Only then can we build a sustainable, future-proof infrastructure together. Our approach proves that a company can not only be successful, but can also make social impact. Local and international."
