Last year Horconex announced its European ambitions . The Dutch - French nursery detergent builder and installer will serve customer in more European countries . The completion in 2021 of yet another phase 3 for a tomato raiser in the Czech Republic is a dear example of this , as is the fruition of a breeding nursery for ball chrysanthemums in Belgium .
In Poeldijk , at the promontory office , one affair is never overlooked . " Over the past 35 year , we have grow so bombastic in France and Switzerland thanks to that focus , and that will continue to be the subject , even now that we are active in more European countries , " emphasizes commercial-grade director Vincent Kuijvenhoven .
Since 31 May 2025 , he and in operation director Xander van der Wilk and financial director Jeroen Heemskerk have formed a three - man board with ambition . A growth dream , which is partly made potential by the unexampled premises moved into in 2020 . " When Cees van Uffelen decided to construct this building , he already know that it was important to keep growing in club to remain sizable as a company . The accurate details of those plans were not quite clear at the time . Now they are . We are doing it under our own steam and in steps . The surplus physical outer space we now have useable will aid us to realize our ambitions . "

New dwelling marketsInitially , Horconex will focus on Germany and Austria . Both land were added as ' home markets ' last year , thanks to the appointment of sales agreement manager Markus Balan . " His appointment and his excellent meshing there are already bearing yield . We hope to have a series of cracking projects in these state shortly . " From there , Horconex would then also wish to open a local offshoot in Germany , as it has in France . " It is certainly our intention to prove a local branch there , but first we require to do a number of labor . It is crucial for us not to be a ' one - hit curiosity ' in the nation we target . "
agriculturalist often receive a cycle as a thank - you talent for their projects . This has already led to some comical scenes , as the back pedal brake is comparatively unidentified abroad . " Everyone stayed in one piece , though " , Vincent laughs .
InstallerWhen the European growth ambition was announced , those in Poeldijk were postulate by their French colleagues what could still in reality be done in the Netherlands . Horconex had never really been active there . " We often demand them that question about France , so logically we get the ball bouncing back . Here in the Netherlands , we chiefly see opportunities for screening and heating system . We have been active in both arm for old age , but never in the foreground . We want to convert that by participate in HortiContact , among other things . We see that there is still room here for a skilful installer , particularly for heating system . Good staff is scarce here . We have a good , young team to take on such jobs . "
When raw material toll begin to rise , the Horconex management decided after careful thoughtfulness to act cursorily and stock up on heating pipe . " That finger decently at the prison term and still does now . "
Construction natural action in BelgiumFor this class Vincent expects that there will be a lot of newfangled construction bodily function in Belgium . That is why Horconex is focusing specifically on new construction for their southern neighbors this year . " The last class of favorable subsidies for cogeneration puts pressure on . You will see that a portion of project still need to be completed before the end of this year for that reason . "
ContinuedThe fact that Horconex is going to build in more European state does not mean that it has not already done so . Vincent recalls Finland , projects in the United Kingdom , include a warming project last year , and other Eastern European country besides the Czech Republic . " That country get across our path once thanks to a project there . In the yesteryear , we have often done something outside France and Switzerland in this way . Now we require to do it more and not just as a one - off , but permanently . " So starting in Germany and Austria . " But in clip , for model , also further into Eastern Europe , where we are already well known in the Czech Republic and Slovakia with several nursery . You could say that here , outside the French - speaking country , we have really made our mark . "
