Through its archaeological reports, BAAC Netherlands provides clear and insightful intelligence to businesses, governments, and institutes. With approximately 70 employees, offices in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Zwolle, and 25 years of experience, BAAC positions itself as one of most renowned players in the sector. BAAC realized various remarkable discoveries, including a 4000-year-old sanctuary in Tiel and a roadway constructed out of wooden logs originating from the 13th century.

The company is solidly represented in the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) and various Dutch archeologist associations. This involvement underscores the bureau’s dedication to the quality of its research.

The acquisition aims to ensure continuity. Furthermore, the management envisions strengthening BAAC's position and increasing the company’s exposure. BAAC’s founder, Rob Gruben, remains involved in an advisory role for the next year and a half.
