Kraan Consulting, established in 1979, is a Rotterdam-based consultancy that provides urban estate management and environmental services advice to blue chip clients in the Netherlands. The firm's consultancy services enable a wide range of companies and government agencies to manage their property occupation efficiently and cost-effectively, as well as to reduce energy use, consequently reducing their carbon footprint.
Kraan will be integrated with RPS’ existing business in the Netherlands. A number of RPS’ current services are commissioned by Kraan and mutual clients will have access to a more comprehensive service as a result of this acquisition. The executives of Kraan and all staff have joined RPS and will be engaged in the combined business going forward.
