What Timmerfabriek De Grebbe does

Timmerfabriek De Grebbe is a Dutch bespoke carpentry manufacturer founded in 1923 and headquartered in Rhenen, Utrecht, Netherlands. The company produces custom wooden facade elements and exclusive timberwork, with a core product portfolio spanning kozijnen (window frames), ramen (windows), deuren (doors), luiken (shutters), garagedeuren (garage doors), and maatwerk (bespoke woodwork) across architectural styles including Modern, Eigentijds (Contemporary), Kempisch, Klassiek/Oud-Hollands (Classic/Old Dutch), and Landelijk (Rural).
