Jecor Professioneel

What Jecor Professioneel does

Jecor Professioneel B.V. is a Dutch technical wholesaler founded in 1975 and headquartered in Putten, Gelderland, distributing hardware, tools, fasteners, doors, workwear, and personal protective equipment exclusively to registered business customers in the construction and building trades. The company operates through a counter service, an appointment-based showroom, 24-hour pickup lockers, daily regional delivery with evening options, and a proprietary B2B webshop at shop.jecor.nl that provides real-time pricing, order history, and account management. Its assortment is anchored by three proprietary house brands — Ironside (professional tools and machines), Kelfort (consumables), and Oxloc (door hardware including PVD-coated interior lines) — supplemented by third-party brands such as Austria, Svedex, and Skantrae for doors, and Qblades for saw blades.

Beyond distribution, Jecor runs three service lines: a tool and equipment rental department, an inspection and certification service, and a Kozijntechniek (window/door frame technology) department that manufactures custom turn-tilt, lift-slide, folding wall, and sliding frame systems in-house, along with sills, rebate profiles, glass profiles, and water bars. This in-house custom manufacturing is positioned as a differentiator enabling fast, complete delivery of made-to-measure window components. The company's GTM is sales-led and trade-focused, with the customer explicitly defined as construction professionals registered with the Kamer van Koophandel (Chamber of Commerce) — consumers are not served.

The business model is wholesale distribution with one-time transactional sales under a 'vaste lage prijzen' (fixed low prices) promotional framework on selected categories. As of June 2026, the company has consolidated its footprint into a single Putten location following the closure of the Nijkerk site, with approximately 30 employees, and continues to invest incrementally in private-label product extensions and in-showroom supplier presentations rather than pursuing geographic or channel expansion.
