What cs hardware does

CS Hardware is a private B2B reseller of computer hardware based in Amersfoort, Netherlands (Databankweg 4C, 3821 AL; KvK 55529712; VAT NL001975187B95). The company resells individual computer components, peripherals, supplies, and pre-configured PCs, and assembles custom computer systems under a BTO (Build to Order) model alongside its own 'CS Selectie PC's' branded configurations. Its product portfolio spans major brands including HP, Microsoft, Apple, Lenovo, Intel, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Kingston, Western Digital, Seagate, Logitech, Samsung, LG, Linksys, Belkin, Cisco, Kaspersky, Sony, and NEC.

The business operates an exclusively telephone-based sales channel and serves only B2B customers — specifically Dutch retail shops that resell to end consumers and automation/IT companies that procure hardware for projects and internal use. CS Hardware explicitly excludes individual consumers (particulieren) from its sales. Pricing is quote-based per order rather than publicly listed, and there is no e-commerce platform or consumer-facing digital storefront. Marketing activity is minimal and no digital marketing presence is maintained.

Revenue is generated entirely from hardware sales across three streams: (1) resale of individual components, peripherals, and supplies; (2) custom BTO computer systems assembled to customer specifications; and (3) CS Selection pre-configured PCs. The company carries no proprietary technology, no AI/ML capabilities, and operates as a relationship-driven distribution intermediary within the Dutch IT channel. No funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership disclosures, headcount figures, or financial metrics are available in the source data.
