Deli Home, the leading manufacturer and distributor of wooden building materials, decorative interior concepts and doors, has taken a 50% interest in Houtwerf in the Netherlands and will merge its Belgian activities with Distri-Hout. Houtwerf and Distri-Hout serve do-it-yourself retailers, building materials wholesalers and specialized furnishers and construction companies in the Netherlands and Belgium with sustainable, wood-based building materials.

The companies share a commitment to using only 100% FSC/PEFC certified wood, as the most sustainable and renewable raw material. With this transaction, Deli Home strengthens its position in Europe in the field of sustainable wood products.
Eugène Sterken, CEO of Deli Home, is pleased: “We are enthusiastic about the possibilities we see for our customers at home and abroad with the exclusive, sustainable and circular products from Houtwerf and Distri-Hout.
