Broekhuis

What Broekhuis does

Broekhuis is a Dutch family-owned mobility platform founded in 1932 and headquartered in Putten, Netherlands, operating more than 90 locations with over 2,000 employees across the country. The company functions as a multi-brand dealer and integrated service provider across four product categories: passenger cars (22 brand partnerships), commercial vehicles (6 brand partnerships), campers (HYMER, Bürstner, Carado, and the owned Leaf Campervans brand), and bicycles (34 brand partnerships retailed through 9 dedicated Broekhuis Fietsen stores and a webshop). Beyond new and used vehicle retail, the portfolio extends into private and business leasing, fleet management, scheduled maintenance and repairs (including certified Shimano Service Centers and BOVAG-guaranteed workshops), collision and damage repair via Schadex Maarssen, commercial vehicle outfitting using Sortimo materials, short-term car and camper rental, and insurance brokerage through a co-branded Kingpolis product line, supported by specialized service offerings such as Bikefit fitting (€99 Short fit, €249 Complete fit with 3D measurement).

The business model blends one-time transaction revenue (vehicle and bicycle sales), recurring subscription revenue (private lease, business lease, insurance, extended warranty), usage-based revenue (short-term rental), and professional services revenue (workshop labor, repair, fleet advisory). Distribution is omnichannel: 90+ physical showrooms and workshops provide national coverage combined with local entrepreneurship, complemented by an online webshop for bicycles and accessories, online workshop appointment scheduling, WhatsApp and phone customer service, and outbound telesales for insurance cross-sell. Customer segments split horizontally between individual consumers (private car, bike, camper, and lease buyers) and business clients (SMB and corporate fleet operators across industries such as construction and energy, including named accounts such as Vattenfall, Feenstra, and MAC Constructie). Brand identity emphasizes long-standing family-business heritage, four codified customer promises (help, honesty, getting-you-home, proximity), and a 9.1 / 4.5-star reported customer rating.
