What Verhoef Groep does

Verhoef Groep B.V. is a privately held Dutch specialist in home accessibility adaptations, headquartered at Phoenixstraat 13 in Alkmaar, North Holland. The company advises, supplies, installs, and maintains physical modifications — including bathroom renovations, threshold-free showers, anti-slip flooring, wall handrails, stair and ramp modifications, ceiling lifts, door widening, and wash-and-dry bidet systems — that enable elderly and disabled individuals to remain living independently at home. Its offering spans a broad product portfolio (wall grips, shower seats, toilet adaptations, threshold ramps, door communication systems, bedroom adaptations) sourced from brands such as LinidoSolutions, Etac, Invacare, Blooming, and Closomat, combined with in-house construction, renovation, and ongoing maintenance services.

The business operates across three primary revenue streams: (1) home adaptation services and installations (professional services), (2) product sales through a direct e-commerce webshop and in-person showroom in Alkmaar, and (3) construction and renovation work such as extensions and care unit placements. Go-to-market is sales-led, with free at-home consultations, quotation-based pricing for projects, and direct contracts with municipalities, housing associations, and healthcare institutions. A significant portion of demand is funded through the Dutch WMO (Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning) social support framework. The company holds STIGAH certification for periodic inspection of medical-grade lifting equipment, VCA-certified technicians, and CE-marked products compliant with the Medical Devices Directive.

The company traces its lineage to 1904 (Pieter Jacobus Verhoef, bicycles in Zaandam), evolving through rehabilitation technology to home adaptations. The current entity was spun off in 2006 by Marcel Verhoef and Erik Weimer as Verhoef Woningaanpassing BV after the original rehabilitation technology business was sold. Operations are confined to North Holland, with 6 employees and a small but deep base of municipal and institutional clients (20+ municipalities including Alkmaar, Haarlemmermeer, Zaanstad, Hoorn).
