Darthuizer Groep

What Darthuizer Groep does

Darthuizer Groep is a Dutch family-owned group of companies specializing in green infrastructure products for urban, commercial, and residential built environments. Operating through five wholly-owned subsidiaries — Mobilane (modular green wall systems, green roofs, pre-cultivated hedges), Oase Lease (decorative floral installations and Christmas lighting rentals), Mobicare (installation and maintenance services), Darthuizer Productie BV (in-house cultivation at Leersum and Bemmel), and Boot & Dart (tree nursery operations) — the group delivers a portfolio of pre-grown plant systems including the patented LivePanel Indoor modular green wall with sensor-controlled capillary irrigation, Mobilane Green Screens (Kant en Klaar Hagen), MobiRoof sedum cassettes, and WallPlanter facades.

The company serves a diversified mix of municipal governments (City of Leiden, Woking Train Station), housing associations (Rhea Wonen, Rhenam Wonen), corporate and industrial clients (Sartorius Group, Burkert Fluid Control Systems), cultural institutions (Rijksmuseum Amsterdam), and commercial real estate (luxury retail in Venice Beach). Revenue combines one-time product sales, recurring Oase Lease rental programs, installation services, and ongoing maintenance contracts. Distribution runs through subsidiary-branded websites, 35+ international agents, 9 worldwide offices, and specialized installation partners such as BSI Bomenservice.

The group traces its lineage to Darthuizer Boomkwekerijen (founded 1926, formally established 1959 under L.K.J. Ilsink), now led into its third generation by G.A. Ilsink. The company holds multiple sustainability certifications (KIWA, Groenkeur, PlanetProof, EKO, SKAL, VCA, MVO), a portfolio of patents in green wall and facade systems, and operates a social-enterprise model with over 200 Presikhaaf employees at its DartPlant production location. The firm is one of the first Dutch tree nurseries to mechanize cultivation processes.
