HistoryIn 1970 the founder and original owner Danny van de Berg started a one-man business by importing and selling wooden fencing from premises of approximately 200 M2. As the result of continued innovating Hillhout - Bergenco has grown into a serious producer and commercial trading company with an extensive range of wooden garden products. Hillhout is internationally well known for the good quality and extensive customer service. The products are sold to the market under the trade-mark Hillhout. Hillhout is a real trend-setter in the Netherlands and in many other European countries. The head office is in Zwolle with industrial premises at this time being approximately 100.000 M2 with more than 200 people throughout Europe working daily for your ”Garden pleasure” In the Netherlands and Belgium, Hillhout-Bergenco is working together with retail outlets (see elsewhere on the site). Abroad there are daughter companies in England, Germany and France. In other countries Bergenco works on an exclusive basis with importers who are taking care for the distribution to retail outlets. In 2004 Hillhout was taken over by Deli Universal, a ‘big’ player in the timber industry, so together we must take on the challenge to strengthen the position in the Netherlands and produce growth in other European countries. |
