Tulipa Holding B.v.

What Tulipa Holding B.v. does

Tulipa Holding B.v., operating as Tulppack, is a Netherlands-based private company founded in 2011 by owner Arjen Peetoom and headquartered in Opmeer. The company specializes in the sale and service of packing machines and materials used by tea, herb and spice producers to fill pyramid and flat tea bags, including with outer envelopes. Its core product line consists of three Tulppack-branded machines — the TP-P100 high-speed pyramid tea bag packing machine (up to 100 bags/minute with a 14-head weigher and ±0.1-0.2g accuracy, listed at approximately €85,250), the TP-T100 high-speed filter tagging machine (approximately €74,090-€85,050), and the TP-E100 high-speed pyramid tea bag enveloping machine (approximately €63,550). The portfolio is complemented by proprietary-format packing materials and tagged rolls (consumables), used/second-hand industrial equipment such as screw compressors, and an aftermarket spare parts service covering components for Tecpacking, Jiabo Tech and Coreshtech machines (e.g., ABB circuit breakers at €10.99, Omron relays €3.99-€32.99, Mitsubishi servo amplifiers €49.00).

Tulppack generates revenue through one-time equipment sales, recurring consumables and spare parts transactions, all priced excluding VAT with quote-based enterprise configurations available. Distribution is primarily direct via a multi-language Odoo-powered e-commerce webshop (English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish), supplemented by a physical showroom in Opmeer for live machine demonstrations and direct contact channels (phone, WhatsApp, email) that ship spare parts from local stock. Marketing relies on SEO-optimized localized content and organic social presence on Facebook and LinkedIn. The company markets itself around a service-first philosophy ("help before payment") and 100% customer satisfaction, targeting a base of small-to-mid European tea, herb and spice packagers (10 reference logos disclosed including Morga AG, Kräuter Groz, FBKT/Carre Blanc, Cemo Gourmet, RZ DE-BIO, Bioraselli, Pflegerhof, Tee Mustersmann, Pips and FDC).

Operationally, Tulppack runs as a founder-owned micro-enterprise with 1-10 employees, no external funding, no subsidiaries, no disclosed partnerships, and no M&A activity. The business is registered as Tulppack B.V. under Dutch private limited company rules (VAT NL868130746B01, Chamber of Commerce 97604860), with Tulipa Holding B.v. as the parent entity. There is no AI/ML component to the product; the technology stack is mechanical and industrial, and customer support is delivered in-house via phone or service visit.
