Our flexible and solution-oriented working method optimally supports our customers’ processes. It is important to us to do a little better every day, for both our customers and our planet. Sustainability therefore plays an important role in our activities. We are happy to tell you more about Houtwerf.
In the years ’30 sir Verbeek started ‘De Houtwerf’ in Leiden, a timber trade for local contractors. Over the years, under the leadership of 2nd and 3rd generation, the company has grown into an internationally operating and versatile supplier of mainly wooden construction products for indoor and outdoor use. From our branche in Zoeterwoude we supply DIY’s, contractors, woodworking industry and trades in the Netherlands and partly Germany. Besides there are branches in Belgium, France and China. Despite the company’s growth, the family vibe of Houtwerf has remained unchanged. This family vibe contributes to the commitment of the employees, who are keen to ensure that customers receive timely and professional assistance. There’s a reason that our motto is ‘We take care of it’.
What it’s all about at Houtwerf:
Sustainable collaboration – A strong and sustainable construction
We aim for long-term, intensive cooperation with our customers and suppliers. This means that we get involved in planning and are flexible where necessary. We make every effort to ensure continuity. Now and for the future, because we are fully committed to environmentally aware business operations. This is reflected, for instance, in the development of more sustainable product lines.
Optimal delivery – Always available
Our processes are optimised to such an extent that fast and fine-grained delivery from a large stock is possible. We offer the possibility of ordering several products in one batch. Drop shipment of large batches is also an option.
Both contribute to efficiency and reduce transport movements, which in turn is better for the environment. We deliver nationwide 1-2 times a week. Daily in the Randstad. Orders can be placed until 12 o’clock in the afternoon for next-day delivery.
