Regge Hout

What Regge Hout does

Regge Hout is a Dutch wood wholesale and processing company founded in 1926 in Goor, Netherlands, specializing in certified wood products for civil engineering (grond-, weg- en waterbouw, GWW) applications. The company operates an integrated sawmill (zagerij) and planing/shaving (schaverij) facility with inventory capacity exceeding 10,000 m³, sourcing tropical hardwood from Africa and South America (Azobe, Massaranduba, Cumaru, Angelim Vermelho, Okan, Tali, Bilinga, Basralocus, Louro Preto), European hardwood (Oak, Robinia, Sweet Chestnut), and European softwood (Douglas, Scots Pine, Larch, Spruce). All offerings carry FSC (FSC-C017915) and PEFC (PEFC/01-31-80) Chain of Custody certification, with EUTR compliance since March 2013, positioning the firm for sustainability-gated public and enterprise procurement.

The business operates two divisions. The main Regge Hout division sells sheet piling (damwand), piles (palen), railway sleepers (bielzen), anti-parking posts, laminated plank screens, purlins, wattle mats, and deck boards through a sales-led, quote-based B2B model serving construction companies, municipalities, and private individuals in the Netherlands. The wholly-owned Regge Hout Projectmanagement subsidiary extends the model into turnkey delivery and on-site assembly of prefabricated galleries, balconies, stairwells, stair treads, pergolas, beams, railings, columns, corbels, and terraces, including a proprietary Safegrip anti-slip deck treatment. After the 2010s separation from the bankrupt international Reef Hout Groep, current management owns and operates the Dutch-only entity with no disclosed external institutional capital.
