What Weijer Trailer Group does

Weijer Trailer Group (legal entity Weijer Aanhangwagenfabriek B.V.) is a privately held Dutch manufacturer and multi-brand dealer of aanhangwagens (trailers), headquartered at Leembaan 10, Deurne, Netherlands. Founded in the 1950s, the company operates a dual business model: in-house production of its proprietary Weijer and Freewheel trailer brands at the Deurne factory, combined with authorized dealership of approximately ten European trailer brands including Henra, Humbaur, Brenderup, Hulco, Tohaco, Anssems, Sunway, Sirius, Atec, and Daxara. Its product range spans horse trailers (1.5, 2, and 3-horse), boat trailers, platform trailers, dump trailers (kippers), machine transporters, car transporters, closed box trailers, refrigerated trailers (koelaanhangwagens), and mobile sales trailers, plus custom-built units (speciaalbouw) made to customer specification.

The company's underlying technology centers on metal fabrication and assembly, with notable proprietary elements including a custom-build (speciaalbouw) division and the in-house distribution of Tohaco air-suspension trailer technology, which uses independently controlled air bags to deliver low loading floor heights (0-34 cm) and push-button loading/unloading. Manufacturing takes place at the Deurne facility; the company is a member of the Koninklijke Metaalunie (Royal Metaalunie), the Dutch SME metalworking trade association.

Weijer generates revenue through four streams: one-time sales of new trailers (both own brands and partner brands), recurring rental of diverse trailer types, professional repair and maintenance services for all brands, and parts/accessories hardware sales via the dedicated aanhangwagenparts.nl webshop. Go-to-market is sales-led via the 3,500 m2 Deurne showroom, an authorized dealer network covering the Netherlands and Belgium, and the e-commerce webshop. Customer segments are horizontally split between individual consumers (horse owners, boat owners, private cargo haulers) and business/professional users (contractors, transport operators, event vendors). Pricing is largely quote-based for custom builds, with promotional pricing on standard models; no public pricing disclosure exists.
