Heman Verhuurservice

What Heman Verhuurservice does

Héman Horecaverhuur is a privately held Dutch party and hospitality equipment rental company headquartered in Amsterdam-Duivendrecht, established in 1903 according to firmographic records (though some internal sources cite 1920 and the company markets itself as "over 100 years" in Amsterdam). It operates across more than 15 product categories spanning cutlery, tableware, glassware, furniture, beer tap systems, mobile bars, kitchen equipment, tents, and themed decoration collections, claiming the largest rental assortment in the Netherlands.

The company's revenue model is a unit-priced equipment rental model priced per usage day with structured multi-day discounts (first extra day at 25%, subsequent days at 15%; weekends counted as a single day). Ancillary revenue is generated through cleaning fees (€0.07 per article returned unclean), labor charges for on-site setup and breakdown (billed hourly with a four-hour minimum plus travel costs), and delivery and transportation fees with weekend/after-hours surcharges. All prices are quoted ex-VAT in euros. The technology platform is a standard Magento-based e-commerce webshop providing catalog browsing, account login, order history, and wish lists; no proprietary technology or AI/data assets are disclosed.

Héman serves both business events (corporate seminars, conferences) and private celebrations (weddings, birthdays, anniversaries) as primary segments, with festival organizers and the hospitality industry (caterers, restaurants) as secondary segments. Distribution is multi-channel: self-serve e-commerce, a physical showroom for inspiration and personal advice at Joan Muyskenweg 34, direct nationwide delivery with convenient pre-/post-event windows, and self-pickup from the warehouse. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and is a certified member of Verhurend Nederland and the Dutch Venue Association (DVA), providing third-party quality and continuity validation to institutional clients.
