‘Creating space for a healthy planet’. That is what inspires us. 

Our vision is to be the world leader in space creating solutions that contribute to a sustainable planet. In a world where space is a scarce and valuable asset we help organisations worldwide to use space in the most efficient and effective way. With our storage systems, our clients save up to 75% of the storage space needed and 90% CO2 output. We are climate neutral in our own operations and reduce our customer's footprint. In this way, we make an essential contribution to a healthier world. This is why we call ourselves "The footprint reduction company”. Our next ambition is to make the rest of our supply chain (as in suppliers and all transport movements, the so-called scope 3 of the Green House Gas protocol) climate neutral. We are affiliated with the SBTi and have an Ecovadis Silver rating.

Being a market leader in Europe, we help museums (in which we are world market leader), libraries, archives as well as healthcare intuitions, warehouses, retail and vertical farms to reduce their footprint. Through our own sales offices and a worldwide network of distributors, we are represented in Europe, the United States, Africa, Asia and Australia. Organizations such as the Rijksmuseum, the Louvre, Cambridge University, but also the band U2 and Gucci are among our customers. We are a passionate team of 200 colleagues, 130 of us work at the head office in the Netherlands, where production and international distribution take place.

Our goal is to further extend our position in the market as we see large potential for growth with our distinctive systems and solutions. This growth can be enabled by geographic expansion, new segments such as vertical farming and healthcare, innovation and renovation and operational excellence. To strengthen the current Export team, we are looking for an
