What Aalster tentenbedrijf van der Werff does

Aalster tentenbedrijf van der Werff B.V. is a privately held Dutch tent rental company headquartered in Valkenswaard, Netherlands, tracing its origins to a 1935 sailmaking business founded by H.J. van der Werff in the municipality of Aalst. The company rents temporary tent structures and complete event outfitting services to event organizers, companies, and private individuals throughout the Netherlands. Its core product portfolio comprises seven tent types — hangar tents, arch tents, pagoda tents, VIP pagoda tents, Eldorado hexagonal pagoda tents, aluminum pavilion tents, and frame (span) tents — ranging in width from 3 to 48 meters, complemented by accessory lines for furnishing, heating, sanitary facilities, lighting, and flooring. Multiple tent lines are TÜV certified and comply with NEN 8020-41 fire safety and NEN-EN 13782 temporary-structure standards.

The company operates a direct-sales, quote-based rental model with no publicly disclosed pricing, deploying tents nationwide for trade fairs, festivals, corporate openings, weddings, horse competitions, ice rink venues, and private parties. Customers request customized quotations specifying event type, tent dimensions, dates, and placement address; the in-house rental team handles setup and breakdown. Marquee deployments include the 1980 Paralympic Games at Papendal, as well as ongoing service to large festivals such as Lowlands and Tomorrowland. The business is a member of the Branchevereniging van Nederlandse Tentenverhuurbedrijven (Dutch Association of Tent Rental Companies). Aalster tentenbedrijf van der Werff remains under family ownership with no institutional investors, funding rounds, or public-market participation disclosed, and operates with a 1-10 employee headcount.
