BauWatch B.V. is a European security technology company that provides temporary surveillance and access control systems, primarily for use on construction sites and other temporary locations..[1][2] Sources differ on the precise founding year, but BauWatch is widely reported to have been established sometime between 2008 and 2010.[3][4] The company is headquartered in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, operates in 11 European countries, and employs 575 people as of 2024[2]. BauWatch is a wholly owned subsidiary of Franz Haniel & Cie. GmbH, a German investment firm based in Duisburg[4]
History
BauWatch was founded by the Dutch construction company Visser Assen.[4].[5] Over time, the company expanded its operations through a combination of internal growth and the integration of subsidiary businesses, as documented in annual reports published by its parent company[2]
During the 2010s, BauWatch expanded beyond the Netherlands and established operations across multiple European markets. Its expansion in the United Kingdom in 2018 involved the incorporation of OnGarde Limited, now registered as BauWatch (UK) Limited, according to records from Companies House..[6] Corporate filings indicate that BauWatch comprises multiple subsidiary entities, including Sicuro Ltd., FIGO / BauWatch Technology B.V., C-24 GmbH, and Hillson B.V[2]
In 2016, BauWatch was acquired by the investment firm Nordian Capital.[5]. The company was subsequently acquired in 2021 by Franz Haniel & Cie. GmbH[4]
Market position and operations
German business media have described BauWatch as one of several companies experiencing significant growth in the market for mobile security solutions at construction sites..[7] According to statements published by its parent company, Franz Haniel & Cie. GmbH, BauWatch was among the early developers of these systems and is described by its owner as a leading provider of temporary outdoor security solutions in Europe[2]
BauWatch's product range includes mobile surveillance towers that combine cameras, motion sensors, and remote monitoring functions, alongside related access control and security services. Users can monitor systems remotely via the company's online platform, and services such as site assessments and system maintenance are also offered.[1]
