It is more than 30 years ago that Fred den Doelder started the firewood company Natuurhout in Zeewolde (Flevoland). At that time, we produced the firewood ourselves. Tonny Kamminga joined the company as a partner years later. When Fred died in 2009, Tonny continued the company. Natuurhout had already stopped producing its own firewood and had hired De Houthakker in Rutten as a supplier of firewood. The collaboration with The Woodcutter is doing well and Natuurhout is increasingly taking on the function of wholesaler. At the request of Natuurhout, De Houthakker will also produce other products, such as kindling wood and Swedish torches. These products will therefore also become available to other buyers. All the wood that we process has the FSC quality mark® and comes from sustainably managed Dutch forests. This means that our firewood meets the requirements for sustainable heating.
When Tonny approaches retirement age, he starts looking for a party that can continue Natuurhout. Through the collaboration with De Houthakker, owner Sander Rook is the ideal takeover candidate and in 2023 the transfer becomes reality. With the takeover, Natuurhout has confidence in a successful future. Sander Rook and the Natuurhout team do everything in their power to continuously realize the core values of the company: flexibility, quality and delivery reliability. Firewood, kindling, firelighters, Swedish torches and barbecue wood chips are currently the most important products in the assortment. Are you a wholesaler looking for a producer who can also make other wood products, then contact us contact with Sander to discuss your ideas. We love a good challenge!
