L.H. Verhoeven's Zagerij en Houthandel B.V. is a privately held, family-owned industrial sawmill based in Harskamp (municipality of Ede), Netherlands, operating for more than one generation under the Verhoeven group. The company runs three fully automatic sawing lines with an annual processing capacity of up to 150,000 m³ of roundwood, producing custom-dimensioned sawn softwood (thickness 14-100mm+, width 60-145mm, length 780-2430mm) for the pallet industry, with by-products routed to biomass energy and the panel/board industry. It holds FSC (CU-CoC-805896) and PEFC (CU-PEFC-805702) chain of custody certifications, which qualify its output for sustainability-sensitive European industrial buyers.

The business operates a direct B2B sales model, with products manufactured to customer specification and orders handled via phone and email. Headcount is approximately 20, and the company is part of a four-entity Verhoeven group that includes HTL Harskamp (roundwood procurement), Verhoeven's Emballage (pallet production, a likely internal offtaker), and Kist & Co (vegetable and fruit crates), providing vertical integration across the wood-to-packaging value chain. Management is led by Koen Gevers (Bedrijfsleiding). There is no public revenue disclosure, no external funding, no M&A activity, and no digital product surface; distribution is domestic Netherlands with light European cross-border outreach reflected in a bilingual Dutch/English website.
