Vermeij

What Vermeij does

Vermeij B.V. is a Netherlands-based, privately held B2B packaging supplier headquartered in Vianen. According to the firmographic record, the company provides three product categories to business customers: packaging materials, packaging machinery, and UN-approved packaging (i.e., packaging certified for the transport of dangerous goods under United Nations regulations). The combination of consumables, equipment, and regulated hazmat-certified containers positions Vermeij as a specialized industrial packaging distributor rather than a commodity reseller, with the UN-approved line serving as the differentiated offering. The business was founded in 1919, making it a century-old operator with an established trade position in the Dutch market.

At its current scale of 11–50 employees, Vermeij is a small, owner-operator-style distribution business. No information was available in the input data on revenue figures, pricing models, customer segments, named accounts, distribution channels, partnerships, leadership team, or M&A history — the primary website (vermeij.com) returned only a loading/verification page, and no third-party data was supplied to fill those gaps. The business model therefore can only be characterized at the firmographic level: B2B distribution of packaged physical goods, with a regulatory-certified niche line, supported by machinery sales and aftermarket consumables, on a legacy operating base in the Netherlands.

The technology profile, expansion history, and capital structure are all unobservable from the supplied dataset. No apps, APIs, integrations, certifications beyond the implied UN approval, or ownership disclosures are present. Any deeper diligence on commercial scale, customer mix, or strategic direction would require primary data from the company or financial filings outside the information provided.
