First project in 1903

On March 3, 1903, Jan Mol from Genemuiden wins the tender for the harbor renovation project in Elburg as the lowest bidder. This moment marks the beginning of a new company. At that time, the contracting company Jan Mol mainly focuses on civil engineering construction, occasionally taking on residential and commercial building projects as well. The company operates across a large area, stretching from the Zuiderzee coast (later the Zuiderzeepolders) to Northwest Overijssel and Twente.

The name Pleijsier enters the company

In 1939, founder Jan Mol Sr. steps down as owner. From that moment on, the company continues under the name J. and T. Mol, run by his son Jan and nephew Teunis Mol. Just after the Second World War, the name Pleijsier comes into the picture. It is Willem Pleijsier, and later also his father Jochem Pleijsier, who join the company as carpenters. This eventually leads to a takeover in 1958, with Willem Pleijsier and Teunis Mol continuing under the name “Mol en Pleijsier.”

From father to son

In 1963, Willem’s son Henk Pleijsier joins the company. He takes over the management in 1973. From that moment on, the company increasingly focuses on commercial construction, building many new client relationships. Gradually, the company’s focus shifts. This becomes most apparent in the 1980s and early 1990s, when civil engineering projects give way more and more to commercial construction.
