The Nimlas Recipe.
One group, one goal.
A clear direction forward
Nimlas’ strategy and goals provide a shared direction for the entire group. Built on a five-year horizon and continuously adapted, our strategy ensures clarity and focus while safeguarding local autonomy.
Full financial control
All companies are fully financially integrated, with monthly reporting in a single system and continuous follow-ups. High-quality data enables faster decision-making, early action, and better risk management and control.
Smart tools for a slim organisation
We use digital business systems and AI to minimise administration, freeing our people to focus on what they do best. Rather than investing in R&D, we adopt the best available methods and tools to stay slim and quick.
Professionalised governance
Every company follows Nimlas’ policies and governance processes, in addition to local laws and regulations. Our balance between framework and freedom is how we raise our standards and professionalise our companies, building a more robust group.
Building better together.
Active ownership at every level
We all act like owners and are dedicated to building the best company in our industry. Our MDs make their local companies better, the country organisations with strong regional managers make all companies better, and the group makes all country organisations better. As part of a group, we all report to someone and help each other improve, making us stronger at every level.
Strong alone, unstoppable together
As a group, we can invest, build stronger operational capacity, and realise synergies that no single local company could achieve alone. We buy and start companies that deliver on their projects, then use the profits to buy and start more companies and grow the group. This creates a positive cycle,
as we continually reinvest to make ourselves bigger, better,
and more robust.
Unlocking collective strength
Being part of Nimlas means gaining colleagues and never facing challenges alone. We share best practices, make all companies more professional, and strengthen working conditions for all our employees. By making our companies and country organisations better, we set new standards and drive the industry forward.
Your town, your rules.
MD means MD
Every MD is fully in charge of their business – just like being self-employed, but with added backing to accelerate success. Being part of Nimlas gives you the freedom of a small company, along with the stability and resources of a larger group.
Full local ownership
All local companies run their own business, with full P&L responsibility, their own brand, and complete control over their teams, customer relationships and projects. That’s how we achieve top results with more speed and less bureaucracy.
We reward results, period
Clear incentives and a focus on individual impact mean that
your inner drive fuels not only your own success, but the group’s as well. Skin in the game further enhances commitment, and
key people can become shareholders – creating a true ownership mentality and substantial returns for those willing to invest
and deliver.
Built in boots, not boardrooms.
Get the hell out of the office
We don’t lead from behind desks. We build trust and make progress by showing up where the work happens – on site, in conversations, and when it really matters. Presence isn’t a place. It’s an attitude.
Strong leaders are key
Leadership comes from experience, not theory. Through the Nimlas Academies, we help our people reach new levels, preparing them to take on more responsibility and lead. We’re not afraid to take charge or to change things that aren’t working. That’s how we stay sharp and keep delivering results.
Securing tomorrow
We foster the next generation of leaders from within – every day, every year. Our ambition is for all key positions to have a ready successor: someone who can step up and deliver when needed. No gaps. No maybes. Just solid planning for continued success. That’s how robust operational capacity is built.
Buy together, win together.
Size matters
Procurement isn't just about buying materials – it's a strategic advantage. Our increasing size gives us real power in the market, enabling us to secure better terms, prices and margins. The bigger we become, the stronger our position, and the more benefits we unlock for the entire group.
Keep costs low
Each country organisation sets its own procurement strategy, adapted to local market conditions and needs. By using smart procurement systems and understanding the terms of every deal, we make informed, optimal purchasing decisions. This approach consistently delivers better deals, strengthens local performance, and maximises cost efficiency across the group.
Dedicated deal-makers
Our procurement specialists constantly challenge both new and existing agreements – not just once, but twice – to make sure we always get the best deal. They benchmark supplier rates and analyse buying patterns to uncover the best options. They also share their expertise and provide hands-on support to local companies.
