Teka Groep

What Teka Groep does

Teka Groep is a privately held Dutch event and hospitality company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Barneveld, Netherlands. The company operates a portfolio of more than 20 event venues spread across the Gelderland, Utrecht, North Holland, and South Holland provinces, with capacity ranging from 50 to 5,000 guests. Its venues include castles (Kasteel De Schaffelaar, Kasteel Duurstede), historic warehouses (De Rijtuigenloods, Het Oude Magazijn, Centraal Ketelhuis), industrial and military-heritage sites (Mauritskazerne, De Garage at Radio Kootwijk), a large-scale congress hall (Midden Nederland Hallen), farmsteads (Hoeve Sparrendam), and a mobile tent trailer. The company runs approximately 1,800 events per year.

The core offering is turn-key event execution supported by a vertically integrated service stack: in-house catering (De Preuverie, with biological and regional sourcing), technical/AV production (Alpha Light & Sound), event staffing (Eventcrew), and day-hospitality operations (lunchrooms and restaurants under the daghoreca line). Proprietary sub-brands include Kasteelfeesten and DLC, and in April 2022 the venue portfolio was consolidated under the Next Venue discovery and booking platform. The company is founder-led by Timo Kruft, employs roughly 350 people, and self-describes as one of the largest players in the Dutch event and congress industry.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with enterprise-style field sales into corporate, government, and multinational clients (including participation in tenders and market consultations) and a consumer/individual channel for weddings and private events. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time venue rental and catering/AV billings per event, complemented by recurring day-hospitality spend. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
