De Haas Verhuur

What De Haas Verhuur does

De Haas Verhuur is a third-generation, family-owned event equipment rental company founded in 1971 in Milsbeek, Netherlands. The company rents furniture, beer-tapping and bar systems, professional cooling solutions, and self-developed wooden chalets to organizers of festivals, corporate events, trade fairs, stadium hospitality, weddings, and private parties across the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. Its proprietary products — the Evenementencontainer (8 tap points, 11 m³ cooling cell, operational in 15 minutes, developed 1994), the Tankbierwagen (refrigerated trailer with two 1,000L beer tanks, developed 2010), and the collapsible folding chalets (developed 2016) — represent internal product development rather than commodity inventory. The rental catalog spans roughly 19 furniture SKUs, 8 tap/bar items, 6 cooling items, and the chalet line, with unit prices ranging from €0.20 (basic seating components) up to €800 (event container). Revenue is generated per-unit per rental period (week or weekend), with transport priced separately via quote based on distance and volume; private customers can pick up at the Milsbeek headquarters. Go-to-market is direct: customers request quotes online or by phone, and De Haas delivers and places equipment using its own transport fleet. Marquee customers include Matrixx Events, Libéma Brabanthallen, GelreDome Publiekshoreca & LOC7000, Gemeente Nijmegen, and Ebben Inspyrium. De Haas maintains a strategic partnership layer with breweries and drinks merchants who pre-load cooling containers, enabling filled-delivery service to event sites — a logistics differentiator versus pure rental competitors. The company has no external investors, no disclosed revenue, and remains entirely under family ownership with third-generation members joining in 2023.
