Strong in steel
Involved with people

On May 22, 2026, the Brink Foundation was officially established at Het Notarieel in Rijssen. With this foundation, Brink Staalgroep® aims to further shape its social commitment by supporting organizations and initiatives that contribute to combating poverty, increasing opportunities, and assisting vulnerable target groups.

 

Social commitment as a starting point

The Brink Foundation focuses on supporting people and organizations that make a difference for others. The focus is on initiatives that contribute to combating poverty, increasing social opportunities, and supporting vulnerable groups such as youth, elderly, sick, and people with disabilities.

 

"We believe that entrepreneurship goes beyond just creating economic value," said the board of the foundation. "As a company, we have the opportunity and responsibility to make a positive contribution to society. With Brink Foundation, we aim to do so in a targeted and sustainable manner."

 

 

A policy plan has been established for the period 2026-2030, outlining the mission, objectives, and working method of the foundation. Transparency, carefulness, and demonstrable social impact are the key principles.

With the establishment of Brink Foundation, Brink Staalgroep® takes the next step in its ambition to build not only strong steel structures but also a stronger society.

 

Currently, the Brink Foundation is awaiting the approval of the ANBI status (Public Benefit Organization). Once the RSIN number and Chamber of Commerce number are definitively established, this information will be published on this page.

 

Organizations, foundations, and social initiatives that align with the goals of Brink Foundation can already contact the board to apply for financial support or a donation.

Requests can be submitted via the contact form of Brink Staalgroep® or by email (info@brinkstaalgroep.nl) to the board of Brink Foundation. 

 

The board of the Brink Foundation consists of:

• Gerlinde Kwintenberg – Chair
• Evelien van den Nosterum – Treasurer / Secretary
• Robert Kwintenberg jr. – Board member
• Mees Hazeleger jr. – Board member

 

The board carries out its activities on a voluntary basis and evaluates applications based on social impact and alignment with the foundation's objectives.

 

Together, we are not only building strong structures but also a strong society.
