Allro-Plast Carrosserieën

What Allro-Plast Carrosserieën does

Allro-Plast Carrosserieën (APC B.V.) is a privately held, family-owned Dutch custom vehicle body builder based in Goes, Zeeland. The firm traces its history to Carrosseriebedrijf Zeeland (1996) and was incorporated in its current form in 2003, operating today from its facility at industrieterrein de Poel (since 2018) with a small team of 8 employees. It designs and fabricates bespoke carosserieën — open, closed, tipping, sliding canvas, refrigerated, and special builds — as well as custom trailers, with engineering work carried out in an in-house 3D CAD design room.

The company's revenue model is multi-channel and project-based: (1) custom build contracts for fleet operators, (2) certified dealership distribution for Aluca commercial vehicle outfitting systems and Kuiper Wagenbouw Star-Line zero-emission (BE) vehicle solutions, (3) trailer supply via a Smartbox partnership including the co-developed Smartbox Light Plus, and (4) recurring aftermarket revenue from inspections, damage repair and a 24/7 service capability. End customers span enterprise logistics (DSV), food distribution (Sligro Food Group), hospitality and holiday parks (Roompot), municipal fleets (Gemeente Middelburg, Gemeente Hulst), healthcare logistics (ViaZorg), automotive dealerships (Louwman Mercedes) and a long tail of regional SMBs.

APC monetizes primarily through bespoke build margins, dealer margin on third-party outfitting and BE-conversion solutions, and insurance/maintenance service fees. The component supply ecosystem (Dhollandia tail lifts, Fassi cranes, VB-Airsuspension, AL-KO axles, Carrier refrigeration, Driverite Air, VDL, Q-tech) and membership of Koninklijke RAI Vereniging enable single-point specification and assembly, which functions as the company's de facto channel structure given its sub-scale headcount.
