What Borgerhoff & Lamberigts does

Borgerhoff & Lamberigts TV NV is a privately held Belgian video production company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Ghent, Belgium. The company produces audio-visual content — documentaries, multi-episode TV series, branded stories, films, and digital content — for a roster of Flemish broadcasters including VRT (VRT 1, VRT Canvas, VRT Max), VTM/DPG Media, Play 4 (SBS Belgium), Streamz, and Ketnet, and on occasion for theatrical release through partners such as Kinepolis. Its core technology is conventional documentary and TV production — development, screenwriting, camera, editing, grading, casting, and production — with no disclosed proprietary software platform, API, or AI pipeline.

The business operates as a B2B professional-services production house. Revenue is generated through broadcaster commissions, co-production investments, licensing fees, and branded-content projects for corporate clients (e.g., HLN 100 Belgen 2021 for DPG Media). A number of productions receive financial support from public mechanisms such as the Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF) and the Flanders Tax Shelter. The company's portfolio spans approximately 100 projects, with recurring franchises (the "Als Je Eens Wist" series on taboo social issues, the "Moordzaken" true-crime line, and biographical documentaries such as Will Tura: Hoop Doet Leven and Charlatan). It has won industry recognition including Best Belgian TV Programme in 2021 for Het Scheldepeloton.

Distribution is entirely B2B and regional: productions are delivered to Flemish broadcasters and platforms, with no direct-to-consumer channel. The company is led by founders and has 11–50 employees. There is no disclosed venture capital, parent company, or external investor; ownership commentary indicates it operates as a founder-led private entity. Recent activity through 2025–2026 — including Mysteriejagers on VRT 1 (January 2026), a second season of Kotmadam Sarafian on VTM, and continued "Als Je Eens Wist" seasons — points to ongoing, multi-broadcaster production cadence.
