Royal BAM Group was founded in 1869 when Adam van der Wal opened a carpentry workshop in Groot-Ammers, the Netherlands. In 1927, the family construction company was renamed ‘N.V. Bataafsche Aanneming Mij van Bouw- en Betonwerken v/h Firma J. van der Wal en Zoon’ (‘BAM’). The company was listed on the stock exchange in Amsterdam in 1959. Royal BAM Group has expanded rapidly via numerous acquisitions, both small and large, in the different sectors in which the Group is active. The largest of these acquisitions were the construction and civil engineering companies of NBM-Amstelland in November 2000 and the European construction group HBG in November 2002.
