Okébox

What Okébox does

Okébox B.V. is a Dutch self-storage (selfstorage/mini-opslag) operator founded around 2010, headquartered at Morseweg 65-67 in Volendam, Netherlands, and serving municipalities across the North Holland region including Edam, Purmerend, Hoorn, Monnickendam, Marken, and Oosthuizen. The company rents secured storage units in multiple size tiers (starting from approximately 6M3 and ranging up to 12M3 and beyond) to both private individuals and business customers, with monthly prices between €9.95 and €93.10 — positioned by the company as approximately 50% below regional competitor pricing. Its physical infrastructure centers on a single facility protected by 24/7 surveillance via 46 cameras, a registered-key system, and personal access passes for tenants; units are described as dry and climate-controlled, with free insurance bundled up to €2,000 per unit.

The product portfolio spans more than 20 specialized sub-products, covering personal use cases (household contents, furniture, seasonal items, tires, art, wine) and business use cases (archive, webshop inventory, pallet, machinery, hospitality, office, and warehouse storage). Supporting services include an online space calculator, sale of moving materials, free trailer and trolley use, and flexible 14-day cancellation terms with the ability to switch between box sizes. Customers transact primarily through the company's website (okebox.nl), a phone line (0299-322688), and on-site at the Volendam location, with no third-party distribution channels.

The revenue model is overwhelmingly subscription-based recurring monthly rental of storage units, supplemented by ancillary hardware sales (moving boxes, packing materials, protective covers). The go-to-market motion is local/regional: SEO-driven content marketing, a Dutch-language educational blog, Google reviews (4.5/5 across 58 reviews per Trustindex), and direct phone contact. Okébox supports the Voedselbank (Food Bank Netherlands) as a charitable partnership. The company operates as a privately held Dutch B.V. with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external funding, parent entities, or M&A activity.
