Making the decisive
difference for our customers

Ambtman Consultancy was founded in 2007 by John den Ambtman to support marine equipment manufacturers with their international commercial activities — strategic focus, agent management and project-related support.

Today, the company is a group of skilled and highly dedicated colleagues and business partners, each with their own speciality and background, jointly committed to one philosophy: making the decisive difference for our customers.

With a strong background and network in the maritime industries, we've built an extensive portfolio of reference customers — and we're translating that method into a wider customer base across other industries.

Maritime expertise, applied across a wider network

With a strong background in the maritime industries, we've built an extensive portfolio of reference customers across these core sectors — including oil & gas and energy.

Industry

Applying the skills and network built up in maritime to clients in broader industrial environments, adding value wherever it counts.

From long-term strategy to the day-to-day

Long-term direction that enables sustainable growth and a healthy business case for owners, employees and customers alike.
