Royal Boogaerdt Timber

On May 6, 1811, during the French occupation, Meindert Boogaerdt bought the hexagonal sawmill ‘De Karper’ in Krimpen aan de Lek. Much information has been preserved from this period. In 1845 the new and larger sawmill ‘Weltevreden’ was built. Because the company was thriving, the first steam sawmill in the Netherlands was built in 1856, just outside the village. Despite less favorable times, the company has been able to develop into a modern timber trading company that has meanwhile acquired a good reputation as a supplier to the yacht and shipbuilding industry, the carpentry and staircase industry, the coniferous industry and the civil engineering sector. . In 1986 the Boogaerdt group received the designation ‘Royal’. On the same date, a new sawmill and planing mill was put into operation in Krimpen, further increasing the possibilities. Wood, the most sustainable and environmentally friendly raw material of today and the future, will enable the Koninklijke Boogaerdt Group to continue to offer its expertise and long experience with added value for many years to come.
