Houtwarenfabriek Siemerink

What Houtwarenfabriek Siemerink does

Houtwarenfabriek Siemerink B.V. is a Dutch family-owned wood-products manufacturer founded in 1932 and headquartered in Haaksbergen, Netherlands. The company specializes in wooden stretcher bars, frames, stretched canvases, and canvas-on-roll products used by professional artists, art students, hobby painters, art supplies retailers, and photo-on-canvas producers. It operates a single manufacturing facility with 11-50 employees and is organized as a Dutch private limited company (B.V.) under family ownership, indicated by the J.M. te Bogt-Siemerink contact reference. No venture capital, private equity, or institutional investors are identified, and no revenue or funding rounds are publicly disclosed.

The firm's competitive position is built on nearly 90 years of focused expertise in wood processing for canvas framing, combined with proprietary multi-layer lamination technology (2-fold to 5-fold depending on product line), finger-jointed spruce construction, and mortise-and-tenon pin connections (6mm or 9mm depending on series). All wood inputs are 100% PEFC-certified with FSC options, sourced from sustainable European forestry. The product portfolio is organized into three quality tiers — Basic (solid wood for small ready-made canvases), Art (finger-jointed for students and hobbyists), and Master (multi-laminated for professional and museum-grade use) — across 13+ named stretcher-bar series with over 100 stock length sizes. Bespoke manufacturing to millimetre precision, including frames exceeding 600cm, is offered as a differentiator.

The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer and B2B sales through a multilingual website (Dutch, German, English), phone and email ordering, and a regional reseller channel into European art supplies retail. Products are shipped from the Netherlands under DDP Incoterms. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are obtained directly from the sales team. The company holds PEFC and FSC certifications, files terms with the Chamber of Commerce for East Netherlands (KvK 06050534), and serves markets in the Netherlands and DACH region, with a self-described positioning as one of the leading stretcher bar manufacturers in Europe.
