Portex Holland

What Portex Holland does

Portex Holland BV, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Ermelo, Netherlands, is a manufacturer-distributor specialising in industrial Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC/big bags) and asbestos removal packaging. The portfolio includes more than 10 durable Big Bag models — standard 4-loop, 1-loop, and 2-loop bags; form-stable (Q-bags); food-grade; ventilated; UN-approved hazardous-materials bags; and a full asbestos product range spanning mini bags (200 L / 35 kg SWL), cubic bags, sheet bags, container bags (up to 17 m³ / 10,000 kg SWL), LDPE asbestos bags, and asbestos containment film — alongside the Stortslurf flexible discharge chute distributed under a separate dealership. Bags are manufactured in ISO-certified Far East factories under SA8000 labour standards from UV-stabilised polypropylene, with application-specific variants for dust-tight, liquid-tight (PE liner), and ventilated (air-stripe weave) use; tests are performed by NEL, TNO, BPI, TÜV, and Labordata.

The company monetises through one-time product sales on a quotation basis; standard Big Bags and asbestos items ordered before 14:00 are dispatched same-day for next-business-day delivery in the Benelux and within 3 working days in Germany, France, and the UK, while custom orders carry 6–14 week lead times. Approximately 90% of bags leaving the warehouse are custom-made to customer specifications, indicating a consultative, project-driven direct-sales motion run by dedicated account managers who act as named single points of contact, with a 24/7 emergency line for asbestos calamity response and a Big Bags Configurator serving as a self-service specification and lead-generation tool. Smaller-quantity buyers are routed to the affiliated BigBagsEurope.com e-commerce storefront, and customers can pickup directly from the Ermelo warehouse.

Portex Holland BV operates as a privately held subsidiary of the diversified Dutch group Vierhouten Groep, with sister-company coordination with Portex Verpakkingen on broader packaging materials. Certifications include ISO 9001 (quality), EN-NEN-ISO 21898 (FIBC standard), ISO 22000, BRC, HACCP, and AIB (food safety), SA8000 (social accountability), and Ascert (Dutch asbestos regulator). The company serves the construction, industrial, agricultural, asbestos removal, waste and recycling, and food and pharmaceutical sectors primarily across the Benelux with broader Western European reach, employing between 11 and 50 people overall (approximately 11 named team members across sales, finance, warehouse, and QESH), and supporting a multilingual Dutch/English/French/German web presence along with active LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram channels.
