Vlastuin Mechanisatie

What Vlastuin Mechanisatie does

Vlastuin Mechanisatie B.V. is a Dutch agricultural mechanization and trailer service company headquartered in Kesteren, Netherlands, operating as a subsidiary of the family-owned Vlastuin Group since April 2015. The company sells, rents, and services tractors, agricultural machines, trailers, and garden/park equipment, acting as a dealer for major brands including John Deere, Kverneland, Vicon, JCB, STIHL, Kärcher, and Thermobile. Its core proposition combines a multi-brand dealership with a dedicated service workshop, mobile repair vehicles, and a VA-Keur inspection service, with particular specialization in the tree nursery (boomkwekerij) sector and trailer brands manufactured by Vlastuin Group sister companies D-TEC, Bulthuis, and Vogelzang.

The company's proprietary product line includes the Vlastuin Omkeerinrichting (a 180-degree reversible seat system for John Deere tractors), the Vlastuin Volgsysteem/Vlastrack GPS telematics platform, 103cm-wide smalspoor narrow-gauge tractor conversions, and tree nursery trailers co-developed with D-TEC. These products sit alongside the resale of new and used third-party machinery and a rental fleet that includes John Deere 6145R/6135R tractors, JCB 403 loaders, and AMS GPS equipment, with daily rental rates around €325 for tractors and €150 for compact loaders. The business also performs tractor and trailer repair, GPS system installation, smalspoor conversions, and certified safety inspections.

Commercial operations are conducted sales-led from a single facility in Kesteren, with a leadership team headed by Bedrijfsleider Barend van Dijk and a sales organization covering agricultural machinery (Jon van der Lippe, Gert-Jan Broekhuis), garden and park machinery (Marco Berends), and counter sales (Jan Haalboom). The company employs approximately 15-20 people, of whom roughly 10 are workshop-based, and operates exclusively as a regional service partner for Central and Southern Netherlands for the group's trailer brands. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time machine sales, usage-based rental, professional service and repair, parts, and recurring periodic VA-Keur inspections, with all pricing conducted on a quote basis and no public rate cards.
