Kraaikamp Wagenbouw

What Kraaikamp Wagenbouw does

Kraaikamp Wagenbouw B.V. is a third-generation Dutch family-owned manufacturer of custom-built woonwagens (residential trailers), chalets, and mantelzorgwoningen (caregiver residences), operating from a single factory in Biddinghuizen, Netherlands. Founded in 1958 as a DIY store in Amersfoort, the company has produced mobile homes, holiday homes, and care housing for over 65 years and currently employs approximately 25 craftsmen with an annual output of 80-100 units. Since 1983, Kraaikamp has been the sole Dutch holder of the KOMO-attest with product certificate for woonwagens under BRL 2101, with continuous third-party inspection by SKG-IKOB; all woonwagens are also BENG-compliant (Bijna-Energie-Neutrale-Gebouwen) under the NTA 8800 energy calculation method, and the company claims 50-year demonstrable structural durability backed by a 10-year warranty on load-bearing constructions.

The product portfolio spans single and double mobile homes (11.00-17.00m lengths, up to 10.00m widths), three chalet base models (single, L-shape, double) including an energy-neutral Duurzaam variant, and fully customized mantelzorgwoningen with wheelchair-accessible adaptations, plus a Specials line for reception buildings, sanitary units, lodges, and bespoke projects. Core technology combines traditional timber-frame construction (houtskeletbouw) with modern sustainable systems — heat pumps, solar panels, sedum roofs, triple glazing, heat recovery, and flax wool insulation — built on a flexible modular platform enabling full customization from three base configurations. A 10-year structural warranty and full-lifecycle service (multi-year maintenance, renovations, transport via Klomp Transport BV, and crane installation via BKV Kraanverhuur) underpin the offering.

Kraaikamp generates revenue through one-time project sales of custom units to three segments: municipalities and housing corporations (B2G tender-driven), recreation parks and campings (B2B), and private individuals (B2C). Pricing is quotation-based with no public disclosure, reflecting the bespoke nature of each unit. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, anchored by personal factory visits and consultations in Biddinghuizen, supplemented by a website inquiry channel and organic social presence (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn). The company operates exclusively within the Netherlands, is wholly family-controlled without external investors or subsidiaries, and has not undergone any disclosed M&A, funding, or leadership transitions.
