What Van Amelsvoort Kassenbouw does

Van Amelsvoort Kassenbouw B.V. is a Dutch private family-owned greenhouse construction company headquartered in Waspik, Netherlands, founded in 1958 by Cees van Amelsvoort and currently led by Frank van Amelsvoort. The company designs, produces, and builds high-quality greenhouse complexes and commercial spaces (bedrijfsruimtes) for the horticultural sector across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Its customer base spans commercial growers (vegetables, fruit, flowers, plants), garden centers, and educational institutions, with projects ranging from small complex builds of approximately 3,000 m² to large-scale installations exceeding 20 hectares. Notable recent projects include a 152,350 m² facility for Red Harvest in Middenmeer, a 118,500 m² tomato greenhouse for Primato in Putte, Belgium, and an 86,500 m² chrysanthemum greenhouse for Infinity Chrysanten in Bruchem.

The company's core technology centers on full in-house design (AutoCAD), production, and construction of greenhouse structures, with proprietary ClearSpan Kasconstructies as its flagship differentiated offering — an innovative system integrating one to four screens above the truss to maximize growing space, improve insulation, and reduce light interception. All projects comply with Dutch NEN 3859 greenhouse standards and insurance guidelines. Van Amelsvoort maintains its own equipment fleet (aerial work platforms, forklifts, telescopic handlers, trucks) and partners with Alcomij (core strategic), Ridder, Van der Valk Horti Systems, and Zeus Beton for integrated solutions.

The business model is project-based B2B construction services with custom pricing per project. Revenue streams include greenhouse construction, commercial/industrial build-outs, and design/engineering services delivered under multi-year contracts. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with a single point of contact guiding customers from initial consultation through design, production, construction, and post-delivery. The company is not publicly traded, raises no external capital, and operates with 11-50 employees, with seven active vacancies indicating current workforce expansion.
