About us
In 1984, Hans van der Poel BV started up a sales dealership in agriculture. This was a traditional company, located in the work center of the Gebroeders Van der Poel business. After five years we needed more space and moved from Oud Ade to Roelofarendsveen. In addition to the dealership, we made small repairs to horticultural machines and then started developing small weeding machines. This was the first manufactured device that was sold in large numbers (1,200 pieces sold).
Machine Manufacturing is the mainstay
During the twenty years the company spent at Geestweg in Roelofarendsveen, developing and manufacturing machines for growing freesias, lilies and amaryllis became more important. Retailing of products slowly faded into the background. High-end machine construction is currently Hans van der Poel BV’s core business.
From regional to global
The company has grown from two employees in 1984 to over twenty today. Where we focused on serving the regional market in the beginning, we are now operating on a global scale. Through Dutch representatives of flower sellers, we manufacture horticultural machines for growers in countries such as the USA, Canada, the UK, Israel, Germany, Japan, Tasmania, Australia and Brazil.
Cow Brush production
In 1998 we started further development of cow brushes. Soon we were partners with a Swedish sales company and were very successful in developing our own type of brush. In 2006, we moved to Veenderveld in Roelofarendsveen. Also due to the success of the cow brushes, we were outgrowing our space. In 2011, we seized the opportunity to buy the building next door. Specifically for the production of our cow brushes, we established the company Comfy Cow.
