A Rich History
Welcome to Amsterdam 1873
It is the second Golden Age, where growth and prosperity are on the rise again, the city is a dynamic hive of production and the population is rising. In the streets of Amsterdam North, Gerrit Boon - a talented, yet humble carpenter - began his business, not realising that the birth of a legendary institution was about to happen. What began as a small carpentry shop in Amsterdam has evolved into a modern, innovative company that has never lost the sense of craftsmanship or family spirit. Our first revolving door was produced in that workshop back in 1903. The values and heritage that was at the heart of our brand back then continue to shine through in how we, to this day, work hand in hand with our customers.
