Verhoeven Timmerfabriek

What Verhoeven Timmerfabriek does

Verhoeven Timmerfabriek BV is a Dutch specialty manufacturer founded in 1939 and headquartered in Venray, Netherlands, producing custom concrete formwork (betonmallen) and prefabricated timber construction elements (prefab timmerwerk) for complex architectural projects. The company serves enterprise construction firms, main contractors, and architectural practices through a project-based B2B model, with disclosed engagements including the Alliander regional office in Amsterdam (~6,000 m2 HSB walls for Dura Vermeer), Tilburg University's BREEAM Outstanding college building (>2,500 m2 HSB walls for BAM), the Verlengde Waalbrug Nijmegen (~12,000 m2 double-curved formwork, Nederlandse Betonprijs 2015), and the Bernhoven hospital facade (for Hurks Bouw). Production takes place in a modern ~5,000 m2 factory using 5-axis CAD-CAM milling, 3D engineering with BIM integration, proprietary QSC plastic molds, and a QRM/Lean production methodology, enabling double-curved and non-standard geometries with molds reusable up to 200 times.

Verhoeven operates under BRL 1001 (HSB wall production), CUR 100 (architectural concrete), KOMO, SKH, HoutbouwersNL, and FSC-C009499 certifications, which together function as gating credentials for major Dutch tenders. Effective January 1, 2025, Blitta Holding B.V. acquired 100% of the company, merging Verhoeven's timber expertise with Blitta Gevelsystemen's aluminium facade capabilities to offer fully prefabricated sustainable facade elements for utility buildings, apartments, and high-rise construction. The combined entity advertises more than 250 years of accumulated craftsmanship in wood and aluminium.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: projects are won directly with main contractors and architects, often from early design stages, and priced per-project based on complexity, specifications, and quantities. The company has no public pricing, no digital self-serve channel, and operates with a small specialist team (reported headcount ~10), relying on its project portfolio, industry awards (including 2011 and 2015 Nederlandse Betonprijzen and the 2012 Europese Betonprijs), and professional reputation rather than marketing automation. Geographic footprint is primarily Netherlands with limited execution in Germany and Singapore.

Core offering

Verhoeven Timmerfabriek is a Dutch manufacturing company that designs and produces custom concrete molds (betonmallen) for architectural concrete and prefabricated timber components (prefab timmerwerk) including HSB walls, roofs, dormers, and rough frames. The firm serves construction companies, contractors, and architects with project-based custom manufacturing, using in-house 5-axis CAD-CAM milling and 3D engineering to deliver tailored structural and architectural building components.

Product overview

Verhoeven Timmerfabriek operates as a specialized manufacturer offering two interconnected core product lines: Betonmallen (concrete molds/formwork) and Prefab timmerwerk (prefabricated timber construction). The concrete molds division produces custom wooden molds for prefabricated and on-site concrete production, including architectural concrete (zichtwerk beton) meeting CUR 100 standards, with capabilities for complex shapes, curved elements, and high repetition use (up to 200 times). The prefabricated timber work division encompasses HSB wanden (wood frame construction walls), Daken (roofs in special shapes), Dakkapellen (roof dormers), and Stelkozijnen (rough frames), all designed digitally with BIM integration. Both divisions utilize 3D engineering and CAD-CAM milling technology, with the company serving challenging architectural projects across the Netherlands and internationally.
