NL | EN About Brands Contact In a nutshell Europe Structure Board of Directors Executive Board Financial History In a nutshell The Veldeman Group is a wholly-owned family company that was set up in 1954 and now operates throughout Europe. The core business centres on the development and production of high-quality sleeping systems for the middle and higher market segment. In order to respond to the wishes and needs of these market segments to best effect, the group works with a multi-brand strategy in which a very distinct focus is placed on each brand. You can find a list of these brands here. Over the years a number of successful spin-offs have developed out of the core business. One of these has been the production according to traditional methods of luxury seats, chairs and sofas and office outfitting for companies and international hotels. Production of mattresses, box springs, slatted bases and sofa beds takes place in our own workshops in Belgium and France and a joint venture in Poland. Belgium has always been and still is an important domestic market for the Veldeman Group, but exports to France, the Netherlands and Germany occupy an increasingly important position. Sales in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and the Far East have also seen continuous growth for a number of years now.

NL | EN About Brands Contact In a nutshell Europe Structure Board of Directors Executive Board Financial History Structure Pursuant to a thorough rearrangement in companies that has taken place over the past few years, the Veldeman Group has been given a very flat structure. This makes very short and direct lines of communication possible, meaning the organisation can rapidly respond to any change or development in each of the markets in which it is present. The Veldeman Group employs close on 400 people in five countries. Production staff working in Opglabbeek (Belgium) and Autun, Confolens and Eyrein (France) account for the bulk of the workforce. The nineteen nineties saw an explosive growth in staff numbers, chiefly due to the hive-off of the bedding division in 1989. The renewed focus on the core business – the development and production of high-quality mattresses and sleeping systems for a broad target group – brought a blast of fresh air to the organisation and gave it a more dynamic character.
