The Dutch company, Gijsberts BV, supplies bathrooms, kitchens, tiles and sanitary ware – all including installation. They have been working with Solar for more than 25 years because of our fast delivery, availability and unique own label products, which enable them to stand out from their competitors.
Gijsberts BV is a family-run business, which was founded in 1976. In 2002, the current owner, Lammert Jan Gijsberts, took over the company from his father. A 5,000 sqm showroom enables different types of customers to find just what they are looking for.
"Our strength is that we offer a complete package which is fantastic for our customers. With us they find beautiful bathrooms, floors and kitchens and we can install and arrange everything from A to Z", says Lammert Jan Gijsberts.
The collaboration between the company and Solar has endured for over 25 years and the personal contact and knowledge are appreciated. Solar knows the company inside and out and can therefore be part of the innovative and development process, the owner explains.
"It is important that we set ourselves apart from online offerings. Solar regularly comes up with new products and unique own labels, e.g. Catalano. This is a beautiful ceramic range with products of the highest quality. With Solar’s Blue Label, I can also offer customers good quality products at a sensible price, which are not available online. Such unique brands are essential for us,” Lammert Jan Gijsberts points out.
"With Solar, the collaboration really feels like a partnership. There is a lot of trust between us. At the moment, it is often difficult to get things delivered on time, but Solar always keeps me updated on delivery. It is great to be able to work together like this.”
