Officetrader

What Officetrader does

Officetrader B.V. is a Dutch circular-economy services company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Hendrik Ido Ambacht, Netherlands, operating across the Netherlands and Belgium with a team of 22+ VCA-certified staff. The company purchases used office furniture from businesses undergoing relocations, rebranding, downsizing, or liquidation, then applies a proprietary 10R circular economy methodology (Refuse, Reduce, Redesign, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, Recycle, Recover) to maximize the share of furniture that receives a second life through refurbishment and resale rather than disposal. Refurbishment capabilities include powder coating, reupholstering, foam and gas spring replacement, repainting, structural repairs, and parts replacement, all delivered through an owned warehouse and in-house transport fleet.

The company's revenue model is diversified across eight service streams: office furniture purchase and resale, business clearance, furniture transport, custom refurbishment, business relocation, moving equipment rental, professional valuation, and bankruptcy asset acquisition. Pricing is quote-based with free on-site valuations; the company responds to inquiries within three business days and operates a direct sales motion with no resellers. Customer segments span large Dutch enterprises (KPN, Rabobank, LeasePlan, Talpa Network, Royal IHC, Mammoet), SMBs, companies in bankruptcy or liquidation, Belgian corporates, and educational institutions, alongside 3,500+ historical customers.

Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-field-sales driven, supported by city-specific landing pages for Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Groningen, and Amersfoort, plus content marketing, social media, and an active project showcase. The company has expanded its circular-economy footprint through partnerships with Hergebruikalles.nl (non-office surplus materials), Albeka.nl (broader furniture catalog referrals), Nowy Styl (new furniture supply), and social workplace Haeghe Groep, and has launched a small portfolio of branded upcycled products (ANDY & BENDY lamps, SPOOL lamps, ECON desk partitions, SENA planters). The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding and was named an FD Gazelle 2023 fastest-growing company in the Netherlands.
