In late years Flexibell Greenhouse Systems has supported the necessary complete greenhouse construction labor with technical supporting , rescue and supervision , primarily in China . Flexibell has several of its own production locations there , vagabond from nursery systems to various other glasshouse material , so a focus on the horticultural growth area was an obvious alternative .
Co - beginner Joost Bogaard and export manager Marco van ' t Hart also expect to support many undertaking in the Asian commonwealth in the arrive age , but they also want to realise more outside China . The Dutch company want to remain compromising and accessible to everyone .

Growth market ChinaThe name Flexibell , with a double ' litre ' , derive from Pierre Bell , co - founder and partner of Joost . He has been active in the Formosan market for seventeen years . He set up Flexibell Systems in 2013 and had several manufacturing plant set up in China to produce greenhouse systems and products in position of the expected growth of the horticultural market there . However , that did not fall out at the time , so he returned to the Netherlands in 2015 , Joost says , express joy : " And then the market place picked up there after all . "
Pierre and Joost then decided to start mould together and in 2017 the first projects were already done . At first still ' under the radar ' , but when in 2019 customer ping on the room access with the desire to put their construction partner on the map among colleagues , the decision was made to stand at a barter fair in Qingdao for the first time .
EngineeringThat same year , the caller formally use up on its current form , with a focus on one hired hand on greenhouse construction in Flexibell Greenhouse Systems and on the other on various solar gore system in Flexibell Energy Systems . The Flexibell Systems head office is in Naaldwijk .
Eighteen calendar month ago , the company moved into premises there . This move gave the company more space , both for the processing of stuff and for extra people in the office , including the necessary engineers .
Flexibell Greenhouse Systems focuses on engineering . From Naaldwijk , and also from the branch in China where the company now has 20 hoi polloi with three bureau and also employ engineer and supervisors , complete horticultural projects are work out . The fact that it is a ' complete ' project does not imply that everything goes through Naaldwijk and that customer have to buy everything from Flexibell . On the contrary . Joost : " We buy materials flexibly and on a project cornerstone anyway . We exercise together with various workfellow companies for this . I also do n’t cogitate that in the current market you’re able to wait international customers to grease one’s palms everything from you . "

Flexibell Greenhouse Systems makes as much use as potential of its own local production , be it in China or another rural area . Marco : " If the client opts for this , we can still engineer everything from here . So it befall that we supply a greenhouse system of rules from the Netherlands , China or Russia , but the client chooses and buys the substructure themselves , which we then engineer and take responsibility for . thing like heat organ pipe are also easily obtain in China and other countries . We know China by now . This means we can economize a portion on transport . " A third option is for Flexibell Systems to purchase for the client in China and give birth directly to the location .
extra focus countriesTwo years ago Flexibell Systems carry out a market place survey for exporting fellowship , subsidised by the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland . This resulted in a number of focus countries , all located along the Silk Road . Joost explains that the research followed from the desire to get , but also from the point of view of risk spreading . " Although our local mien and production allowed us to continue building during Covid , for exemplar , you do n’t require to be pendent on the ( political ) whimsy of one country . That is why we are now focus on undertaking outside China . The focus is on countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan , but we would also like to carry out undertaking closer to home .
In the foresightful ladder , Joost is careful not to be involved in projects all over the world at once . " That is not our ambition . At some peak , you have to center and make choices . " Also with regard to client prerequisite . " Because we produce our own greenhouse systems and products , we are flexible and can make customised organization and product fair easily and deliver them cursorily on site . However , there are terminus ad quem to this . You could say that as long as it is not too alien , we can make anything that is just a little bit dissimilar . "
