TRIVIUM

What TRIVIUM does

Trivium Ceramics B.V., founded in 2010 and headquartered in Delft, Netherlands, is a B2B distributor and custom fabricator of premium hard materials for outdoor spaces. The company sources ceramic tiles, natural stone, concrete products, gravel/split, and street bricks directly from factories and quarries across Asia, South America, Italy, and the Netherlands, and delivers these materials direct-to-project to compress the supply chain. Its core technology is waterjet cutting and custom manufacturing — applied to ceramic machining, large-format prefabricated concrete panels up to 250x300cm, and bespoke pool edge stones with U-profile geometry for infinity and overflow pools. The product portfolio spans Italian 2cm-thick Keramiek TR-series tiles (formats from 60x60cm to 120x120cm), sandstone cobblestones, basalt and Ardenner split aggregates, and street bricks, alongside a "Maatwerk" (custom fabrication) service line for stair treads, gutter elements, and decorative ceramic elements.

Trivium serves three primary professional segments in the Benelux: garden architects and landscape designers, landscaping contractors and horticulturists, and specialized swimming pool builders. End customers are high-end residential and exclusive villa projects. The business model is sales-led B2B: clients register for "Mijn Trivium" accounts (approved within 3 business days) to access pricing and place orders, complemented by three appointment-only showroom locations (Delft, Laren "Villa Arte," 's-Hertogenbosch "Culimaat") and a program of training days co-hosted with installation-tool vendor Rubi, foundation specialist Romfix, and installation materials supplier Ardex. Revenue is generated through one-time material transactions and custom fabrication commissions, with recurring relationships typical of a project-driven specification business. The founder, Niels in 't Veen, also created the "Meesters in de Tuin" annual industry event in 2015, which serves as a brand and ecosystem extension. The company operates as a privately held Dutch B.V. with no disclosed external funding, no app or API, and a small team of approximately 7 employees.
