De Fonteyn

Efteling
Director Dolf Nieland talks passionately about his company. “It is our ambition to stay the world’s number one in those seven garden sectors. This refers to size, variety, quality of the assortment and know-how about our products. A visit to our showroom must be an extraordinary experience which clients will never experience elsewhere. You must look at us as the ‘Efteling’ for gardens.”
Client contact
Nieland: “Our strength lies within the daily client contact and direct lines to the manufacturer. On a daily basis we get to hear how quality of products can be improved. Manufacturers don’t have that daily contact with the end-users of their products. This gives us a head start and we keep it by innovating continuously.” Regarding the spas, Fonteyn collected all input which resulted in its own line: Passion Spa. A network of 700 dealers was set up to make clients happy across the whole of Europe. Also, the past years dealers outside Europe were attracted. Together they deliver about 8000 Passion Spas on a yearly basis.
Fonteyn has a distribution center and warehouse of 60.000 m2 in 2 layers below its showroom. This is guarantee for a speedy delivery of all showroom products and the Passion Spa spas to dealers.
Fonteyn sees a lot of opportunities for improvements in many products. It is tempting to also pick up other products besides the 7 specialties. Nieland: “We keep things the way they are. Focus is important. It is challenging enough to be the best for these 7 segments. We still see a lot of opportunity for growth in Outdoor Living Mall and Passion Spa”.
Export countries: all countries in Europe, Canada, United States, Mexico, Australia, New Zeeland, Malaysia, Venezuela, Burkina Faso, Oman
